Subject: xpdf-reader: Please add support for logical page numbers

Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 19:57:08 +0100

Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.00-12
Severity: wishlist

When a document has page numbers i-xii (or the like) in the front
matter, then starting over with 1-nnn in the main part, this is somehow
indicated in the PDF file (hyperref does it, and acroread can
discriminate the two).  It would be great if xpdf could also indicate
and use both page numbers.  This is especially nice if you just skimmed
through the pages and decided you want to print those labelled 75-79,
but in fact xpdf thinks they are 83-87, because there is i-vii before
1...

Regards, Frank

this is kind of impossible to fix (and it isn't done in any other pdf
reader).
