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).
