            Bug ID: 407173
           Summary: Feature request: Hint about logical page numbers in
                    the print dialog
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.7.0
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: printing
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: nuntius35 at mailinator.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Although the distinction between physical and logical page numbers of a pdf is
clearly shown in the bottom of the viewer, many users tend to forget this when
they open the print dialog. This causes unnecessary printing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a pdf document where the physical page numbers are different from the
logical page numbers. For example, let's say the document has 30 pages, where
pp. i–iii contain the foreword and pp- 1–7, 8–15 and 16–27 contain the first,
second and third chapter, respectively
2. Try to print the second chapter: Open the print dialog and enter 8-15 as the
page range, press print.
3. Go to the printer.

OBSERVED RESULT
You got pp. 5–12 instead. What a waste of time and paper.

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect that the print dialog displays the same information that I find at the
bottom of the viewer. In the example above, the dialog should show something
like 5 (8) — 12 (15). I'm not sure which of the fields should be editable,
maybe all of them. 

Also, an implementation of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335134 would be
really nice.
