    In case that this is related to your page counter problem: due to the asynchronic page building of tex, the page counter is often not reliable in the text body.

You can access the value of a counter for arithmetic or other situations where LaTeX expects a number with value{<countername>}, so



addtocounter{counterB}{value{counterA}}


should be what you are looking for.



You would use the<countername> to print (a representation of) the value.



thecounterB


Gives




5




in the example.



In rare situations or when you define the<countername> you may have to use



arabic{<countername>}
roman{<countername>}
Roman{<countername>}
alph{<countername>}
Alph{<countername>}


to force a particular printed representation.
