But the number does not show the total count. Consider a common document with a
one-sided page layout with a cover page followed by several text pages; the
number will always show one page too much. Consider that in a pdf document
there is no such thing as a "front" or "back" page. These are totally
non-expert circumstances.

Please take a look at the latest screenshots: How is it not confusing / not a
bug that if I export page 9 (as the bottom bar says "Page 9 of 50 (Page 1)") as
a PDF file, I will get the subsequent page (10), because the page with the
headline "Introduction" is ACTUALLY page 8 of the document?
