Hyperref links generated by Glossaries pointing to wrong page

Question

In a long document I have two title pages and want to start the page numbering from one on the first non-title page. Thus I use \addtocounter{page}{-2} at the begin of the document. Pages before the first chapter is numbered in Roman, from there on in arabic.

Now I started to use the glossaries-package. I found that the page links in the glossary are pointing to the total page numbers in the pdf.

So if the first \gls{label} is on page 2 in the arabic numbered section, the link behind the glossary entry points to the second title page. All other links generated by hyperref are good.

In a different posting I learned, that it is because of the hypertexnames=false option of hyperref. If I replace it as supposed in the other post, all the links to floats are broken.

How can I fix this problem? Or if not, how can I hide those page numbers? Did not find it in the manual of the package...

Example with broken links: (comment the line hypertexnames=true, and replace it by the two lines above to get the glossaries links working but loose the links to floats)

A \gls{sample} entry and \gls{aca}. Second use: \gls{aca}.

Answer 1

You could try this (if I understood your question):

\pagenumbering{Alph}
\begin{document}
 <your title pages here>
\pagenumbering{Roman}% as replacement for \addtocounter{page}{-2}
 <...>
\pagenumbering{arabic}% for the first chapter as already done

If you are using Alph page "numbers" later in the document, use alph or roman or fnsymbol for the title pages.
