Yeah, I think that's been established. It's starting to look like whatever I do will require some hand-editing of the PDF -- or constructing my own TOC -- which will probably be less burdensome than continuing to try to find a general solution for what is hopefully a one-time thing. I'm just curious what other people do about this numbering issue with front matter vs. body of book and the printed table of contents that Calibre generates. And I haven't tried other converters -- but like I said ... if I have to diddle with the PDF anyway, I'm not inclined to spin my wheels looking for something more elegant at this point. Or I could convert the whole thing to LaTex and produce a genuine PDF with total control -- but that's also not an attractive solution to a problem involving a half dozen pages and a TOC.
