I'd like to prepare a LaTeX file of a part of a larger volume, containing for example pages from 50 to 60. Is there a way to do it so that a pdf viewer does not display "1" but "50" on the first page and so on? I tried \setcounter{page}{49}, but it didn't work.

Simply loading hyperref does this for me. – Martin Scharrer♦ Jul 12 '11 at 22:20
Thanks a lot, I didn't think about it - of course it works! – mbork Jul 13 '11 at 20:13

This can be achieved by loading the hyperref package. It will store the logical page numbers as page labels in the PDF. This also allows for non-numeric labels like roman numbers for the frontmatter.

If you don't want hyperref's hyperlinks to show up, load it as \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}. For more details on its various functions, check out the hyperref manual. – doncherry Jul 13 '11 at 21:31
Good point! Since I'm only loading some pages from another pdf using the pdfpages package, this is not needed in my case; but thanks anyway for the tip, I (or someone) might need it some day;), and the hyperref manual is rather large... – mbork Jul 13 '11 at 21:55
