Had no idea about ADE so I had to go look. The site seems a great one for epub nuts and bolts.
The first paragraph about ADE says:
Page numbering is automatically generated and inserted by ADE. There is a way we, as content developers, can either manually establish page number or disable it altogether, however as of Dec 2011 it requires the use of a proprietary Adobe extension to the .opf that will cause VALIDATION FAILURE. Continue at your own risk.
Looks like Schwartz has friends in the forget page numbering lands. |
You just don't get it. That nonsense about ADE page numbers needing proprietary crap is 100% wrong. ADE pages numbers are calculated based on the contents of the ePub not some OPF garbage that causes a validation failure. Take a look at the count pages plugin. That correctly calculates ADE page numbers and does not use anything proprietary. It's just an algorithm that you program in the reading software and there you go, ADE page numbers. So please don't go saying things that are 100% false like it's true in order to further your agenda.
