Printing to specific pages using hyperlinks

Question

Help, please ref adobe and printing.  I have a document which consists of a number of preamble pages (using Roman numbering) and about 200 pages using Arabic numerals.  The document consists of a number (about 40) of separate instruction ‘booklets’.  I want to be able to let users follow the hyperlink to the correct booklet from the contents list and then print that booklet, and only that booklet.  Currently, I am using bookmarks to lead the users to the correct booklet but when the document prints, the printer defaults to counting the pages from the first page (of Roman) numerics, not the first page of Arabic numerals, so I end up with it printing the wrong pages.  Can I set up instructions, somehow, so that a command to print the booklet prints only that booklet?   Thanks

Use the "Page Label" feature in the Page Panel to rename the preamble pages/thumbnails with roman numerals (4 in this sample) and to rename the other pages/thumbnails with arabic numerals.

Then you can then use this script in the bookmarks to print any series of pages (in JavaScript the page count starts at zero, so it's always n-1):

// Print pages 61-71
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.printRange = [[60, 70]];
this.print(pp);
