Isn’t this what Perez was telling you back on 1 January 2012 … select “Bookmarks” view in Adobe Reader? If you create a multipage document using preview and look at the ToC view, it will only show the name of the first page and no other pages. In Adobe Reader to get the proper numbering of pages you need to look at the 'bookmark' view. With Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, the bookmark view is the default, so things seem to be OK unless you switch views; with Preview, the thumbnail view is what we end up with because it's the only way to assemble a pdf, so we end up believing, falsely to some degree, that the numbers shown are page numbers. > > So it seems that the problem is limited to Preview - well, Apple's pdf > rendering, I guess, since Carlo also reported the same problem with the iPad > reader and the problem was also visible in quick-look. > > Even though the original file is OK in Adobe Reader, your "fix" is greatly > appreciated - I use preview and quick-look all the time and it would have > been a pain to have to remember I needed to open this particular file in > Adobe Reader! > > As Carlo says: >> Given the unusual nature of the bug, and how hard it is to trigger it I would >> guess you may not see a fix for Preview any time soon. > > > Thanks again, > > > Neil > -- > Neil R.
