Bug#451018: evince: Page offset for broken PDFs

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: evince
Version: 2.20.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

some broken documents starts the numbering of pages on page six or
thelike, i.e. all page numbers have an offset of six. Reading anywhere in
the document a pagenumber you can't use it directly. You must add an
offset of six. It would be nice when evince could do this.

After telling evince in a small dialog the offset is 6 pages (or maybe -3
pages) it display right of the input field for the page number the
offset. Then entering a number, evince jumps to the page (number +
offset).

Bye, Jörg.
