But when do you need an accurate page count? Yes, there are the table of content and glossaries, but for many novels, those don't even exist. Plus, if it is easy to let the documents reflow at the cost of the page count, then why not make it an option?
ì am not sure how important ebooks are for Adobe and the PDF format, but if the format is to be successful on the current generation of readers (and probably the following ones, a screen the size of a paperback is what people really want in the end), SOME way has to be found to make the docs appear correctly without complex user's intervention like the one I mention above in the thread...
