When I download a document the number displayed does not match the number on the original document. Any ideas?

Also, you didn't mention whether this was about Adobe Acrobat Reader or some other software. That would be helpful.

What exactly do you mean? Are you saying that the number in the pages area in the toolbar doesn't match the page number that is on the page itself? Something else?

The number in the pages area in the toolbar doesn't match the page number that is on the page itself. The program is Adobe Acrobat Pro. Thank You.

More than likely, it was created that way. For instance, if the document/publication has a cover and table of contents those would be pages 1 and 2 since Reader is showing you the literal position you are at in the document. That would make page 1 into page 3. Some software (such as Adobe InDesign) can control that when creating pdf files but most just export the original file into a pdf and either do not have that control or the person creating the file doesn't care or know how to do it.
