You can set use the /PAGELABEL PDFmark so that the PDF's idea of page
numbers match what's printed in the headers and footers. You would put
something like this at the top of the page:
[ /Label (iii) /PAGELABEL pdfmark
This kind of thing should be easier in general, but I think if you're using the
mspdf macros, I think it's as simple as defining the HD macro:
.de HD
. pdfmark /Label (\\n% /PAGELABEL
..
I haven't tried this yet, but it ought to work. If it does, it's one more thing
that's trivial to do in groff that's much tougher to do with "modern" graphical
tools.
