Setting Logical Page Numbering from FrameMaker

[Shlomo Perets]

Another consideration as to applying page labels (regardless of whether 
done manually in Acrobat or through FrameMaker plug-ins), is that 
unfortunately, Adobe's support for page labels in recent versions of 
Acrobat/Reader is not as consistent as it used to be:

* Acrobat/Reader 7.0x do no show page labels when dragging the vertical 
scrolling bar (PDFs displayed in a single-page mode).

* Acrobat/Reader 6 or 7: page numbers in the tool tips for search results 
relate to the physical numbers in the PDF, not to the page labels (actual 
page numbers).

If your documentation is distributed primarily or exclusively as PDFs, this 
may be a consideration since users find it confusing to differentiate 
between the two numbering systems, and it can also cause communication 
problems between tech support and users (e.g. "look at the instructions on 
page 74").
