Another consideration as to applying page labels (regardless of whether
done manually in Acrobat or through FrameMaker plug-ins), is that
unfortunately, Adobe's support for page labels in recent versions of
Acrobat/Reader is not as consistent as it used to be:
* Acrobat/Reader 7.0x do no show page labels when dragging the vertical
scrolling bar (PDFs displayed in a single-page mode).
* Acrobat/Reader 6 or 7: page numbers in the tool tips for search results
relate to the physical numbers in the PDF, not to the page labels (actual
page numbers).
If your documentation is distributed primarily or exclusively as PDFs, this
may be a consideration since users find it confusing to differentiate
between the two numbering systems, and it can also cause communication
problems between tech support and users (e.g. "look at the instructions on
page 74").
