Custom page numbering: Roman numerals for front matter, decimal for body, prefixed for appendices.
C# — Page Labels
// Front matter: lowercase Roman (i, ii, iii)
doc.AddPageLabels(0,
PdfPageLabelStyle.LowercaseRoman);
// Body: decimal starting at 1 (1, 2, 3...)
doc.AddPageLabels(2,
PdfPageLabelStyle.Decimal);
// Appendix: prefixed (A-1, A-2...)
doc.AddPageLabels(4,
PdfPageLabelStyle.Decimal, "A-", 1);
You should see five pages. Check the page-number indicator in your PDF viewer's toolbar — it should read i, ii, 1, 2, and A-1 as you flip through. Each page displays its label name as a heading (e.g. "Cover (page i)") and a reminder to check the viewer's navigation panel.
