Description Pierpaolo Busacchi 2013-08-08 00:52:54 UTC
Let's say you have a file with not only a numerical index
I, for example, was trying to print one with an index like  C1-C2-i-ii-iii-iv-v-1-2-3- ....
So i would expect that asking to print pages from, ex, 5 to 103 will print pages from index position 5 to index position 103. Nope, it will print pages from iii to 100

I don't know if this is what you expect, but as a user it is not what i expect. Infact i lost like 2 hours figuring out why and looking for some error in the printing message or drivers (i just installed a new printer so, yeah, bad luck to discover this behavior just now) then i just installed the adobe reader, realized that it wasn't a printer problem and found it.

As i see okular seems to not support any indexing type not numerical, infact i see it forcing all the pages to the numerical one. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a pdf file with not (only) a numerical index
2. print a interval of numerical indexed page you want
3. you're welcome


Expected Results:  
I would expect that the printing option allow me to select the pages to print based on the internal index type of the file, not in a general cardinal way

That's not easy, what if you want to print from pages C1 to iv?

Page names are page names and page numbers are page numbers, and we show both in the page label bar for a reason.

Moving this to feature wish
