Mike is right, and I didn't pick up on the fact that we (in this
conversation) weren't necessarily talking about the same thing.
Yes, the page images are always fine in Acroabt, with the page numbers just
as they are in Word. And it's just as Mike has said: what I want for the
frontmatter is for *Acrobat's page number navigation* to display, for
example "i (1 of 12)", and then when page numbering changes to Arabic (when
the real doc content starts), Acrobat will display "1 (3 of 12)", assuming
that there are just two pages of frontmatter of course.
