RE: [docbook-apps] modify page number lables in PDF

["David Cramer" <dcramer@motive.com>]

The adobe docs refer to that as "logical page numbers" and it would be a function of the fo renderer. I know XEP supports logical pagination in most cases: http://www.renderx.net/lists/xep-support/3999.html So if you use the pdf backend or the ps backend and acrobat distiller, you should get logical pagination automatically.

From the Acrobat User Guide:

"Use Logical Page Numbers allows you to set page numbering in a PDF document using the Document > Number Pages command. You typically do this when you want PDF page numbering to match the numbering printed on the pages. A page's number, followed by the page position in parentheses, appears in the status bar and in the Go To Page, Delete Pages, and Print dialog boxes. For example, if the first page in a document is numbered "i", it might appear as "i(1 of 10)". If this option is not selected, Acrobat ignores page numbering information in documents and numbers pages using arabic numbers starting at 1."
