Is there any way to force a browser to see logical page numbering?

I have many PDFs that use logical page numbering (front matter uses roman numerals), but when they're viewed through a browser, it only uses physical page count. So if you type in a page number, it goes to the wrong page. I noticed that the Adobe InDesign pdf has the same issue, so it might not be fixable. Thanks!

Thanks. The logical page numbers are already set in the PDF and if you download it and view it through a pdf reader, it's all correct. It's incorrect when viewed through a browser using the browser pdf reader's page search.

Try the Internet Explorer with the Acrobat Reader add-on.

Each browser uses a different plug-in made by a different company. Some of them do more than others. Certainly, you can't do anything if they don't want to.

Ok, thanks. That makes sense but it is disappointing.
