I've been using LaTeX since 2008, but just yesterday found something which Google search couldn't resolve.
Actually this is about the page counter in the toolbar of the PDF viewer: 1 (1 of 6). This was introduced in hyperref 6.82a:
http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/ftp/ChangeLog
I found that when using the book class, if you have, lets say 2 pages of front matter, then the PDF reader will display: i (1 of 4), ii (2 of 4), 1 (3 of 4), 2 (4 of 4).
Code: Select all
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
Front text.
\newpage
Front text (2).
\mainmatter
Main text.
\newpage
Main text (2).
\end{document}
Code: Select all
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\mainmatter
Main text.
\newpage
Main text (2).
\end{document}
Version 6.81z and previous display book without frontmatter, article, letter, scrartl, etc normally: 1 / 1, 2 / 2.
Therefore versions before 6.82a displays 1 (3 of 4) only when using book with frontmatter.
I use article mainly and that new behavior looks awkward to me.
For now I use 6.81g, but is there a setting to turn this off?
