c3k Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Gents, Looking at the online manual: page 42/43, difficulty levels. Two issues. First, the printed page number in the manual does not correspond to the page number shown on the computer toolbar. Secondly, magnifying the page drops out a lot of the text. It seems that the magnified image is linked to the wrong version. Regards, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The numbers don't correspond because the printed manual is numbered with 1 being the first inside page, while the online component is numbering it starting with the cover. I'll look into the other thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thanks. The cause of the numbering issue is obvious, but no less irritating. Hmm, index says "p. 67"? That means I select 68. I have no idea how onerous it is to adjust the quick select toolbar (that seems the easier/more logical item to change). I just wanted it pointed out.

Moon Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 There is no way to change the dropdown menu. I'd have to leave out the cover. For future manuals however the numbering will start with the cover, so the numbers will match. But going back to change the existing manuals is too much work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm pretty sure acrobat has options to label different sections with different sets of page numbers. The pages not synching up with the index on scanned PDFs drives me crazy too, and BFC is far from the only guilty party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hey, isn't this a great opportunity for BF.C? Here's the next module: CM:PN! (Combat Mission: Page Numbering!). "Take control of the manual! Play either side; the angry editor, offensively rushing to get the manual published, or the frustrated consumer, defensively bemoaning your inability to find what you want! Many play options are available. Do you start at the index, or just dive right into the midst of the pages? Perhaps a sneaky endrun flank manuever is called for by starting at the END? You decide! 467 meticulously researched and modelled pages are included. Ballistically accurate numbering system; no one else's manual is so accurate! You'd swear you were there! Buy now!"
