Exactly. Bug 271755 is about adding a way for Okular to correctly number the
pages as per the meta information in the PDF document. Not the same thing,
hence, not a dupe.

Not every PDF document contains the page labeling data, furthermore Okular
supports other formats in addition to PDF.


In summary, Okular currently displays only the page index + 1 (because the page
index itself starts counting from 0). If everyone were to get his wish, then
these features would be added:
1) A way to change the page index offset (be that spinbox, keyboard shortcut,
or something else).
2) Display of the page label, which may be Roman, Arabic, or something else and
may contain multiple types in the same document. This label is encoded in the
PDF file and is not user-set.
3) A way to link to the correct page label (actually the OP of this bug).

I'm not an Okular dev, just a very happy user, so please understand that my
enumeration of the issues is with the intention of summarising the information
in this bug and dupes. I make no claim as to the viability or possibility of
coding the solutions, and I respect any decision that the devs do make in that
regard. I appreciate all their efforts.
