Package: pdf-presenter-console
Version: 2.0-6
Severity: normal

I use pdf-presenter console to present presentations produced using
LaTeX Beamer.  I also make extensive use of slides with incremental
reveals, \pause, and other such mechanisms.  Thus, I have presentations
which have 36 slides, but 75 pages in the PDF.  pdf-presenter-console
presents my progress as "N/75", rather than "N/36", which makes it very
difficult to gauge my actual progress.  evince knows how to read the
page numbers provided in the PDF, so while it knows (and displays) how
many pages the PDF has, it also displays the PDF-provided page numbers.
Please consider doing the same.

(If you think people might depend on the existing behavior, perhaps
pdf-presenter-console could have an option to continue using the raw PDF page
numbers.  However, I think using the PDF-provided page numbers would
make much more sense as the default.)

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
