Veeny Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 In A.D., page numbering is customisable by section, which is nice, but that customisation is NOT reflected in the final PDF file, where page numbers invariably start from 1, irrespective of what has been defined in the various sections defined in the document. This webpage describes the relevant header in PDF files. It turns out having the proper page numbering is a matter of inserting a very lightweight metadata section, so it should definitely be feasible. Given that having inconsistent numbering between a document and its PDF is a major obstacle to e-book distribution, and requires manual editing of the PDF file, I think it should definitely be added in a future release.

Only Publisher has sections. Perhaps you've put this in the wrong Feedback section? If so, I'm sure a Moderator can move it. It does sound like a good idea.

Veeny Posted August 6, 2021 Author Posted August 6, 2021 Oops, sorry, my bad, you’re completely right! Darn. I should be more careful henceforward. Thanks a lot! Quote
