793632 - pdf.js doesn't show non-standard page numbering

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect)

Description

pdf.js doesn't show non-standard page numbering such as i, ii... or pre1, pre2...
See document in URL, and compare to Adobe Reader

It's mainly a problem for documents where the page numbering doesn't start on page one, common in for instance theses, since it means the page number in the pdf viewer won't match the page in the document.

This is somewhat up to the viewer to decide how to implement.  For instance preview on OSX never shows non-standard page number.

So has there been any decision on whether this will be implemented or not? If it's decided not to, this can be set to WONTFIX.

David, can you confirm that this now works as expected?

But logically shouldn't it  display page number according to the document?
For example if I know there is a particular content on page x, I'll enter x on page number button. It will take me to the x'th page in the Document, not the page x in the document. I'll have to manually add the extra number of pre pages to jump to that required page.
