The original document

When exporting a document with custom page numbers, the page numbers are not exported.

The pdf file format supports "page labels", that allow to restart page numbering inside a document, so that the page numbers displayed by the PDF reader will match the page numbers of the document.

The attached odt file has two pages, which both have "1" as a page number.
When the file is exported in PDF, the PDF won't have Page Labels. That means that the second page will be attributed a page number of "2"  instead of "1".

The PDF file that should have been generated

This is the pdf exported by libreoffice, to which I added page number informations manually. Open it in a PDF viewer that supports page annotation (Adobe reader, and evince do) to see the difference in displayed page numbers in the GUI of the reader.
