You might be able to export as RTF (to keep styles) and use that with a Word Processing program to paginate and PRINT to PDF

Thank you, and I am very aware of the epub's best feature of reflowable text and the rationale for epub variations to suit the reader pref's. In no way do I wish to paginate my epub. Rather, I am converting my epub into pdf for hard copy print and in the Calibre setup for PDF Output settings tab there is a header/footer template allowing for user code input, with an option for page numbering of a pdf with a sample instruction given at the link below.

Using their template for input isn't there a way to direct the code to begin at a specific number instead of at numeral 1? Due to high image content the files are too big to manage as a whole on my limited computer. I have to paginate chapters separately for now; rejoining later into a composite project that needs an index.
I am ignorant of code in this instance and after three+ days searching online for a model in Calibre I hoped someone in the forum has some experience with the template Calibre offers for footers.
For instance, the code Calibre offers paginates epub Chapter One beautifully in pdf output because the first page is page one. I can't paginate for the successive chapters. For example, Chapter Two needs to begin as page 19.
Wow, it stumps me there is no code for this.
