[ANN:] Webinar 9May 2PM PDT "Sess 3) Separation of Content & Form"

[Maxwell Hoffmann]

Fundamental to structured authoring is the concept of the separation of content 
from presentation and delivery. The way a piece of text looks during authoring 
is irrelevant. The formatting and presentation are post-authoring 
considerations, and activities possibly not performed by a technical writer. 
The more content and form are separated, the greater the opportunity to re-use 
that content in different forms, such as paper, Web, mobile, synthetic voice, 
and eBook.

Certainly it's an issue known to me! ;-)  It has been the way you describe in 
all the versions of Acrobat Pro I have worked through (4, 6 and 8) and also in 
Nitro Pro (all versions so far).  I'm typically working with books, having more 
than one logical numbering sequence, so I've just assumed that it had to be 
that way because Acrobat had no way to distinguish one set of numbers from 
another.

The hyphen in the page label is ambiguous, as it is also used to specify
page ranges. Technically, if page labels use a dash instead of a hyphen, it
is possible to get the expected result (e.g. print page 7-10 only). However,
having to type Alt-0150 instead of a hyphen in the Print dialog box
outweighs the inconvenience of getting to the right page (and to make it
even worse, it is not interpreted properly when typed in the Current Page
field).



As a workaround (when chapter numbers are used), one could type the page
label in the Current Page field, then print, selecting "Current page" (or
select the pages to be printed in the Pages/Thumbnails pane, then
right-click and select Print Pages).



Unfortunately, Adobe's support for page labels in recent  versions of
Acrobat/Reader is not as consistent as it used to be. Starting with v6, 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).
