Re: [xsl] initial-page-number

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry not to be helpful for your first post, but I think this is an 
Acrobat issue and not and XSL-FO issue.

There are no other workarounds or alternatives for the page numbering 
effect you need in XSL-FO, so you are stuck with that to get the 
renumbering to work.

Perhaps you can ask this question in an Acrobat forum, and I'm sure 
it would help this list (myself included) if you posted your 
discoveries here.  Perhaps there are syntax alternatives to 
interpreting page numbers specified in the print dialogue ... I don't 
know and haven't tried.

I'm surprised when you say printing page 89 doesn't give you "89 of 
213" ... isn't the "89 of 213" the underlying page number in the PDF 
file?  If so, how is it that another chapter has 89 pages before this 
89th page?

Welcome to the list!
