In most of the newer manuals, if you put your cursor over a page number in the index, it changes to an index-finger pointer. If you click, it takes you directly to that page - you don't need to enter a page number.

Making the page numbers match might be possible, because there is some kind of page numbering function in Acrobat. I just tried a little on the Work Management document but had not much luck. It may be non-trivial.

I usually do as others have suggested - determine where the Roman numeral pages end (front material), then subtract that.

When the pagination is chapter-page, as in older manuals, it's really tough. It comes down to an educated-guess binary search for me, usually, using the scroll button.

Hi,

anybody got a solution for this problem?

I have some IBM manuals in PDF format (like RPG reference, Security
reference and the like). When I look at the index (with Acrobat reader),
it may say
topic at page 253.

Now I choose document - Goto page. When I enter 253, I'll end up at page
225. Anybody knows a fix for this?

thanx,

Oliver
