Re: PDF with a TOC and Logical Page Numbers

[Amy Emge <emgeac@MUOHIO.EDU>]

Hum, I don't think I made my problem/question clear.

Let's say the TOC takes up the first five pages of the report and the
report body actually starts on page 6 but it's printed page number is
1.  When I tell Acrobat to go to page 1, I want it to go to the page
printed numbered 1, which is actually page 6 because the TOC takes up 5
pages.  When I was referring to roman numerals in my first post, it was
because Adobe numbers the TOC pages with roman numerals (when I tell
Acrobat to go to page iii, it goes to the third page of the TOC; when I
tell Acrobat to go to page 3, it goes to the page printed page 3).

Again, this is called logical page numbers in Acrobat.  It's a feature you
can turn off and on.  I have it on, but it's not working for the pdf I
created.

Thanks again.
