1.You can add a serial number to a PDF form.
If the form is used offline (Opened directly within Adobe Reader), you can generate an auto number from a web service.
If the form is used within Workspace ES2, you can make use of the Prepare Data Action Profile to populate this number. (Web service way also may apply)
