Set page labels
Page labels are useful when trying to access a specific page
by its printed page number, and they are important when there
are discrepancies between the printed page number and the sequential
page number used in Acrobat to access pages or display page number.
Page labels are displayed in the status bar (in front of the
page number), in the Page ("thumbnails") panel. The
Print and Go To Page dialog boxes also support page labels.
Page labels can be defined manually in Acrobat 4 or higher,
but this operation has to be repeated whenever the PDF is re-created.
If your FrameMaker books have roman-numbered front-matter,
followed by sequential page numbering, converted to a single
PDF, you can insert the ~PageLabelRomanFM shortcut once
in the first page of the first chapter ("page 1"),
and page labels reflecting the actual page number will be added
automatically every time you distill.
Example: Sample
FrameMaker Book (PDF: 185K), the hypertext
marker alert ~PageLabelRomanFM 0 was placed
on page 1 (0 indicates the number of unnumbered
pages which precede the roman section, such as title pages).
Notes:
- When page numbering is chapter-based and the book is converted
to a single PDF, PageLabeler (FrameMaker plug-in) is recommended.
- In Acrobat/Reader, the "Use logical page numbers"
preference has to be turned on for page labels to be displayed
(Edit > Preferences, "Page Display"; turned
on by default).
