<p class="">While the MWE below compiles, there are two glitches whose causes I have not been able to figure out:</p>
</div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class="">As can already be seen in the ToC, the sections in the Epilogue are numbered 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2,<br class="">
In the ToC, if you hover near, for instance, Numbers, you will see “Go to page 9” while the Toc indicates page 1. In other words, the number of pages in the front matter (8) is being added to the page number in the hyperlink of the main matter items. The same
obtains in the ChapterTocs.</blockquote>

</div>
<div class="">This is perfectly normal.</div>
<div class="">The hyperlink is using the “virtual page” of the PDF,</div>
<div class="">whereas the printed number can easily be different, due to front-matter material</div>
<div class="">using different numbering to the full document.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The pop-up is showing the name of the internal destination,</div>
<div class="">which *must be unique* within the PDF.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It is quite hard to build the PDF so that it shows a message that is different from the internal unique destination name.</div>
<div class="">Certainly this is not done as a matter of course.</div>
<div class="">I’m not saying that it is impossible, but that the value of trying this is dubious,</div>
<div class="">since it may not be understood by all PDF reader software.</div>

<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Here’s a screen-shot of the same kind of problem with a document that I am currently working on.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div><img apple-inline="yes" id="D59F7D98-5802-4037-B929-8CD80CE11349" width="640" height="289" src="cid:CC5205FF-B76B-4EB6-95E8-79C97BB46174@telstra.com.au" class=""></div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>There are 3 pages of Cover and title pages; prior to roman numbering of front-matter: ToC, LoT, LoF.</div>
<div>The link goes to the correct page, which is physically numbered as ii ,</div>
<div>but it is the 5th (virtual) page within the entire PDF document.</div>
<div> (See the page number indicator in the 2nd image.)</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div><img apple-inline="yes" id="643AF2A4-6759-4E1D-BAA5-EACCB8C7D0AF" width="640" height="164" src="cid:F12FCFED-1508-4141-B7C2-BEDF520F3684@telstra.com.au" class=""></div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>I’ll be looking into ways of making this seem more intuitive.</div>
<div>But that’s not high on the priority list, since the visual popup (in Apple’s Preview)</div>
<div>shows what is on that target page.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>The only way to improve this is to overload the PDF document with an annotation that</div>
<div>masks what the PDF viewer would do, barring such a masking annotation.</div>
<div>But if one does this, then you cannot be sure that all PDF viewers will actually honour it in the same way. </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>The lesson here is that LaTeX can be used to create a PDF, fully loaded with all kinds of information. </div>
<div>How it actually appears is not predetermined for all viewers.</div>
<div>In situations such as this, the viewer may have been programmed to choose to use different pieces </div>
<div>of the provided information. Yes, that can be frustrating!</div>

<div class="">1. I had noticed that “the number of pages in the front matter is being added to the page number of the toc to produce the page number in the pop-up” (I will edit the question with that wording.) But I was not at all aware that it would be so
much harder for hyperref to keep track the way latex does. So, I thought it was my problem.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2. But a pdf on screen is much more appropriate for the kind of students I used to have as, for instance, while mathematicians will "go back" to ascertain the meaning of a word, these students are just not going to go to the index and then to
where the term was defined and then back to where they needed it. They just won’t and that’s that. Onscreen, in the magnum opus, they will just have to click on the word and they might do it. But the toc glitch is going to upset them.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">3. What about the numbering of the sections in the Epilogue? That's got to be the result of my dismal understanding of LaTeX.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">4. In any case, thanks for explaning the first glitch. Now, I can go ask Oberdieck if he might see his way to make another “quick and dirty hack”.</div>
