Keeping Page Numbers after Password Encrypting a Document

Hi,

I noticed that after I password encrypt a document that the page numbers go away. However, I need the page numbers for printing purposes. Is there a way to keep the page numbers after the document is encrypted?

Thank you.

So..... this is such a weird problem.

I created a Page Number Header in Adobe Live Cycle using the Maste Page. Therefore, no matter how long the document becomes (as form fields expand), the pages will populate automatically. However, I want to password encrypt the document after I fill out the form, so people can print but they can't make any changes.

Unfortunately, when I do that, the page numbers go away. Instead it just says: "Page of "

And there needs to page numbers when the document is printed. Anyone have a work a around for this problem, if there is no fix?
