I let Final Drafts pdf format number my pages for me, I'm not sure how to automatically do it but it has numbers nonetheless.

I really do recommend PDF format for everyone who submits their scripts here. There are several reasons. The most important of them is that it looks the same anywhere you open the file. If a script is in html-format, I don't touch it. Mostly because there is no page breaks and it's really awkward to read anything from the browser. Even .doc and .rtf files I usually avoid or PDF them myself. Making PDF's is free and easy so I can't see why everyone doesn't use it since it offers the most comfortable reading experience.

I agree 100% but some people don't want to waste the extra room for the program which takes up like 60 megabites sometimes... I purposely use an older version so the file size is smaller.

I only have 30 gigs and when you use the PC for many tasks those 60 megabites can haunt you.

I wasn't referring to Adobe's software. There are freeware PDF makers that I believe don't cost you more than a megabite.

Henrik, could you direct us to one of those freeware PDF makers? I've been paying an Adobe subscription for months to make my PDF files. To release that $10 a month would be nice, and for those who have not found one, it would make more PDF files more likely around here.

And to reference the aformentioned page numbers, I use Word to convert to pdf, and I just stick the page numbering sub-program in the header. Poof! Auto-numbering. Pretty painless. I think I've usurped all of my former html scripts from the site, so no more of the non-numbered, browser only rubbish. It was a pain to reformat anyway.

Here's one:

Another:

Primo was already mentioned:

This one works online. You don't need software:

And for those of you who need one more, here's one more:

And there are almost countless others. Googling for "Free PDF" seemed to give a nice selection.
