Page Number doesn't go to entered page number

Suppose I want to go to page 500 on my pdf of 912 pages. So I enter "500" in the page number field on the right panel of the window, but then I'm taken to page number 534. Everytime I enter a page number I wish to go to, the page number which 34 pages after my desired page number appears. Is there any setting that I can change for this? As this is very annoying and making browsing pdf files very frustrating.

This means the page numbers and page labels in this file don't match. Reader uses the former, I believe.

There's nothing you can do about that in Reader. You can report this issue to the author of the file and ask them to change it and send you a new version. It should not happen with all files, though.

You are correct for most part, but this issue was not there in the earlier version of Adobe Reader, the one where page number field was on the top panel. There I believe both the page numbers and page labels were mentioned next to each other, so one could navigate according to whatever (label/number) was enterable by the user.

Correct. It was recently changed.
