How to go to a page number when Logical Page (page label) is shown

Post by Mathew »

If "Use Logical Page Numbers" is active, it shows both the page label and the pdf page number in the page navigation bar:

The problem I'm having is how to jump to a pdf page number? For example in the above snip, I've entered 387 but it will only jump to the page that has a label 387, not actual page 387. The same thing happens if I use "Go to Page…"

What I'm looking for is a way to click on the number 391 and enter an actual pdf page number to jump to. Is this possible?



Distant secondary question: Is the only place to set this "Logical Page" setting on the menu in the Thumbnails pane?

Hello, Mathew

Since it is possible (and surprisingly common) for there to be multiple groups of "logical page numbers" in a single document, which consist of the same ranges of "page numbering" (IE, you can have page 1-10, more than once in the file, on top of the actual physical pane numbers), such an option is not planned to be implemented at this time.

As for toggling logical page numbering on and off, this can also be done from the preferences, under the page display category, but the most easily accessible option is in the thumbnails pane, yes.

Hello Mathew,

If you put + at the beginning of the page number, it will be interpreted as a physical page number, not a logical page label. In your example, typing "+387" would go to the physical page 387. I found this method by chance, so it may suddenly become unusable, but it works for both "Page Navigation Toolbar" and "Go to Page" in the latest build 396.

Best regards,
