If you are like me, it drives you up the wall that the printed page number does not match the Adobe page number in your Traveller PDF's. I love to reference pages in my notes and navigate directly to pages by their number. Here is how I have been able to slightly modify all my Traveller PDF's to match the printed page.
The catch? You need Adobe Pro to make it work... at least I think you do. I have not tried it with Reader but I assume you can't with just Reader. Other PDF editor mileage may vary but the principle is the same.
You can do this by editing the cover page to be page "i" thus making all the pages after match the printed page numbers. At least this has worked so far on all the Mongoose Traveller PDF's I have tried it on.
This is a two minute operation, btw. Real easy.
Here is how I do it in Adobe Pro:
1) Click "Edit" on the menu bar
2) Wait for it to fully open (can take a few seconds)
3) click "Organize Pages" in the left pane
4) Select the first page (AND ONLY the first page) note: if you were already on page one, then it is already selected
5) Right click on page one and go to "Page Labels..."
6) Verify that "Selected" is checked for Pages
7) Under "Begin New Section" Change the Style to "i, ii, iii, ..."
8) Verify Prefix is blank and Start is set to "1"
9) Click Ok
10) Close the file and save changes when it prompts
11) Reopen the file
The cover page should be now page "i" and the contents page "1". This should make all the other pages match the printed page number.
Now, question for the PDF Authors: is there any reason you can think of why you cannot make this post obsolete?
