funny you should mention Adobe which had good foresight a long time ago and seems to have lost their way. PDF was originally a print format and like pagemaker and earlier Post Script is a page oriented format. Keeping page numbers is practically automatic but still the reader that tries to report the page you are on gets it wrong as compared to the paper document since they weren't foresighted enough to realize that the fist page of the electronic document is not page one of the paper document. It is frustrating to try a reference a page number from a pdf without looking on the page itself to see if it is listed.
