Andreas, In all of the PDF documents I've seen (mostly electronic manuals for programs for Adobe and others) I've always seen the number of pages work the way you describe (all pages counted together & requiring an offset). In fact, the window at the bottom of Acrobat shows the page number you're on out of the total. I've never seen otherwise, and would dearly love to be shown I'm wrong. Can you provide a URL to a PDF file that has this otherwise (an attachment might be a faux pas ;-p)?
I just went through every PDF I have (including the ones from Adobe) and they all count the number of pages inclusively. There are no separate numbering systems when I do a Ctrl+N.
