Wolfgang, Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, this does not quite work. The page numbers are correct, but they're not showing up like the previous screenshot in Evince's index. I've attached my ConTeXt source as well as the output PDF and a screenshot of Evince's Index view. Troy

Andreas,

Thank you for the reply. I'm afraid that I don't know how to manually manipulate the PDF Catalog. I was able to successfully build the code on this page

http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2008/036947.html

but I had to add

\placebookmarks[chapter,section][chapter][force=yes]

and although I have Evince's "Index" visible, all of the PageLabels are "1" and when I click on the entry it doesn't change to the correct page. I do get an error from Evince that says "failed to look up aut:3" or another number.

I'm not sure what my options are.

Hans,

Attached is a screenshot of what your output looks like in Evince. I am trying to get the "Page Number" listed as "A" for the Appendix.

It shows ok in Okular and Sumatrapdf (both on windows) so it's probably a bug in Evince then.

I do have an older version of Evince on this machine (v. 2.32.0). I have a new version installed on another machine. I will check it there. Thank you very much. My only question now would be how to remove the "1" and "A" PRECEDING the chapter names (as indicated in the attached editing of Aditya's screenshot). Troy

My desired PDF PageLabels are in the attached PNG. I have also attached a ConTeXt source file that attempts attempts this, but clearly I am missing a bit. I would appreciate any help in accomplishing this effect.

it's not that trivial to come up with an interface for that which also can be wikified and remembered well anyhow, i'll add this: \setupuserpagenumber[viewerprefix=titlepage] \startstandardmakeup The first page \stopstandardmakeup \setupuserpagenumber[viewerprefix=p ] so it's a semi-manual job Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm clearly missing something.

Have you updated you installation because the viewerprefix key was added yesterday.

\dorecurse{2}{\mbox{}\page}

\dorecurse{2}{\dontleavehmode\page} Wolfgang

anyhow, i'll add this:

\setupuserpagenumber[viewerprefix=titlepage] \startstandardmakeup The first page \stopstandardmakeup \setupuserpagenumber[viewerprefix=p ]

Thanks Hans. That works great. Is it possible to have ONLY the prefix (not followed by the corresponding page number) with this implementation? If not, is that a feature that can also be added? Troy

I tried to create a custom label called "viewercustom" (which operates like "viewerprefix" but omits the userpage counter value), but I have been unsuccessful . I modified the following four files (which were the only files that I could find containing "viewerprefix")

./tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-pag.mkiv ./tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-pag.lua ./tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mult-def.mkiv ./tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-mis.lua

Is there something else that needs to be modified that I am missing?

Did you regenerate the format? context --make. Aditya

I have now :-) which now reflects may changes, but now I have to figure out why my changes aren't working as expected. :-/

After trying for quite some time, I believe it's safe to say that someone with more knowledge of Lua and the internals of ConTeXt may have to look into this as I may be underqualified. Troy
