Odd question.
Is there a way to setup automatic page numbering where only the right hand page gets a page number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) so that you are not counting the facing page as a page?
The only work around I can think of is to have the spread be one page but then I imagine I'll run into print issues.Any help is much appreciated.

yep, don't do that 1 page thing, pagination will be nigh on impossible unless you cut the pages up in Acrobat.
Personally i'll manually number the pages for this one.

Set it as single pages as you suggested, then export the PDF and drop into the correctly set up file with separate pages for for printer pagination.

Or manually number as airey said.

assuming the lefthand page is images only, you could build your book in two parts.
seems silly to do it, but it's a thought

I think I need go go manual on this one.

Maybe via page masters and section numbering?

your logic is retarded, everybody reads a page as a page.
what you are trying to do is make people unlearn what they already know.
- not that I know what you are doing. Maybe it makes sensemax_prophet

There is a page limit for this proposal document but they've allowed us to get "creative" and use the facing pages for art. I am just wanting to clearly show that we only used 30 pages of content driven information.
People unlearning how to count pages merely a bonus.

Looks like there is probably a way to do this using Sequential Paragraph Numbering. http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/…
