Re: PDF with a TOC and Logical Page Numbers

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ONTKO.COM>]

Debbie,

Which numbers are you talking about?  When I view a PDF file in
Acrobat Reader, there is, for example, a "3 of 22" display in the
status line at the bottom of the viewer window.  Is it that you
want this number to show "iii of xvi" during one part of the document,
and then "1 of 128" during a different part of the document, or
something like that?

I don't think this is possible.  In nearly every long Acrobat document
I've seen, the current page number never matches the number at the
bottom of the page.  This is always due to the un-numbered or
roman-numbered pages that occur at the beginning of the document.

Am I addressing your question, or am I totally off-base?
