Incorrect page numbering in acrobat standard 8

I created a PDF with the combine files option, after this when i click into the pdf it shows me the 1st page and in the toolbar it shows (1 of 7) as the page numbers. but only till i scroll down to the 3rd page of the document it shows that the 3rd page is page 1 in the box on the toolbar and it now says (3 of 7) which is expected.

It's as if the page numbers are out of synch.

is there something that is wrong in the settings which is causing this problem with incorrect page numbering?

this is causing a problem when printing, as when i select page range 1-4 to print it will start printing only from the 3rd page in the pdf.

Not sure if this is in the standard version or not but in Acrobat Pro you can go to the menu:
Advanced -> Document Processing -> Number Pages
Choose the all pages button
Numbering should begin new section
Style is 1, 2, 3
Start on 1
Click OK

This will reset the page sequence as it is seen in your new file so 1=1 12=12 and so on.
