How can I number PDF document sequentially yet skip a few pages?

Question: My boss needs me to a) insert page numbers into PDF starting on page 4 but with the number 1 and b) not have the numbering visible on a few select pages throughout. Say page 17 is to be skipped, I want the page before to be numbered 16 and the one after 18 without any page 17. Thanks!
