General ⇒ pdfdraftcopy with roman page numbers

[ddenton]

Anyone have any experience with the pdfdraftcopy package? I am having a great deal of trouble getting it to work. I noticed an obscure reference about it not working with Roman page numbers (http://daniel.haxx.se/rockbox/svn-nolan ... anual.html). So I commented out my command:

\pagenumbering{roman}

and pdfdraftcopy worked like a charm. The only problem is that I really need to use Roman page numbers for all of the frontmatter of my report. As soon as I put the page numbering in Roman command back in, whoops, it doesn't work anymore.

Is there anyone with any ideas on what to do?

Thanks in advance!

The homepage of pdfdraftcopy offers a link to existing bugs. There you can find a workaround which may help in this case. Do you see any chance to compile your document with "LaTeX => PS => PDF" by using the draftcopy package as an alternative?

Thank you so much. The fix proposed works well.
