My wish is that the first part of my document to print page #s as i, ii, iii...

I have used acrobat to combine dozens of word files into a single pdf, each file being on the order of a single page.

Are you suggesting that that which I hope to do is not to be done in acrobat?

Acrobat has a footer capabiltiy but not flexible enough for this. If want to use Acrobat Professional, you will have to add a uniqely named field and enter the value you want for the page number.
