ADE page numbers

@hyphenreader - I have been doing some comparison between ADE and Hyphen on the issue of page numbering, as Hyphen claims to use ADE page numbering. It seems that sometimes the page numbers don't match, especially for books with figures.

Of course I am inclined to think that on this issue ADE is right, and Hyphen is less right. But I don't want to stop at that. I looked up ADE page numbers, and saw the line:

Assume that there is a page for each 1024 bytes in each resource, rounding up to the nearest whole number of pages for each resource.


For ASCII characters, one character takes up one byte. For Unicode characters, one character takes up two bytes. But what about an image? The HTML line that specifies the image is more or less of the same length, regardless of the image file size or the display size of the image. How many ADE pages does an image really take?

Is the ADE page numbering scheme really ambiguous as it sounds? If yes, then ADE page numbering compliance is a loose label. I hope that Adobe does better than that. Well, you must know this issue more than I do. Can you help explain it? Thanks.
