Hello All. This is a problem that has vexed me for a while, at least since I started trying to create a .pdf from SGML source. Whenever I use db2pdf, it seems that everything goes well, but the finished .pdf has a couple of interesting properties. First, in the table of contents, all the sections are hyper-linked to their proper position in the document. This is cool as far as it goes, but is there a method to disable the feature?
Second, and more problematic, is the way the pages are numbered. My preference is to have the Contents and Preface sections use lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, etc.) and have the actual numbering start at page 1 of Chapter 1. However, what I'm getting is the first page of the contents getting numbered as 1 on through the Preface and into the chapters. While I realize Docbook isn't WYSIWIG, I would like to ensure the front matter is numbered seperate from the main text. I'm sure this can be done as I have an SGML source document from http://www.wsmake.org and although the .pdf available on the site is correctly numbered and doesn't have the hyperlinks, when I build a local .pdf from the same source, mine is as described above. In fact the author is using Debian Sid and recommends simply installing task-sgml to get all the tools. I did the same in Potato. Although a few of the packages are a bit newer, the Docbook DTD used by the document is version 3.1. I'm at a loss. If there is a FM, I'd appreciate being pointed to it (yes I have the book, Docbook the Definitive Guide installed).
