I am trying to get to the bottom of an issue that has been ongoing for almost a month. Our company is trying to figure out a way to number each chapter accordingly. For Chapter 1 as an example pg 1/30 Then in chapter 2 it restarts at 1 and is shown as 1/25 for chapter 3 it is 1/16 and etc. We are able to restart the first number at 1 for each chapter but can not find a way to get the second number to match the correct amount of pages within a folder(Chapter).

I may be misunderstanding your questions, but can you use this?

Another hack for arbitrary pseudo-page numbers is visible or invisible autonumbers on each page. Of course, with any of the hacks, while visible in PDF, they often won't match what page# the PDF reader thinks you're on.

When any numbering is unexpected, always check that the Numbering Properties in the .book match those for each including .fm file.

Thank you for the response, Bob. I'm not sure I know how to apply the "pseudo-page number" hack to a FOLDER, but it's probably due to my lack of experience with FM...

We tested Winfried's suggestion on our book, and while it works, it's pretty complicated and I am not sure sustainable for the product we are publishing.

We're still brainstorming here tryting to figure this one out!

Are you referring to the FrameMaker Book Folder that treats multiple fines as a single chapter?
