Total Page Numbers Shown in PDF Document

Question

We've got an interactive PDF. There are 23 pages in total, but many of these are duplicates with slightly different content to enable interactivity.

For example page 2 has 4 options to click and so we have created 4 very similar pages with slightly different content depending on which of these options has been clicked.

We have renamed the pages so pages 2, 3, 4 and 5 all show up as page 2 (see image for clarification).

However, it's still showing that there are 23 pages in total.

We want it to look like there are 8 pages in total. Is there a simple way of changing the total number of pages shown in Adobe Reader, or do we have to change how the document is set up in InDesign completely to achieve this?

This is not possible. If you want the pages to "not count" then delete them, or hide them (by converting them to Templates objects and then making them invisible). There's no way to exclude (visible) pages from the total page count.
