I generate a PDF from a set of PNG files using this command:
convert -- $(ls -v -- src/*.png) out/book.pdf
where there're some files with names like -03.png
, which I need to have smaller page numbers than others. But I get a PDF which has -01 having page number 1, -02 number 2, etc., and 01 starts from page number 6.
The PDF is a scanned book, which has some elements like table of contents etc. which aren't included in page numbering. I remember to have seen some PDFs which have special page numbers like vii
before normal Arabic numbers start.
I've tried using -scene -5
to add an offset to page numbers, but this didn't change the result.
So what should I instead do to make page "01.png" have page number 1, etc., and previous ones have some other numbers (negative or Latin, anything) and appear at the beginning of the document?
