GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 604328
command line option jump to page number/page label confusion.
Last modified: 2010-04-01 11:05:42 UTC
Currently, the -p option cannot differentiate page number from page label. If there are page labeled with number, -p always jumps to the label instead of the numbered page. In the Acrobat Reader, there are "nameddest" and "page" options to distinguish the two. http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf
Hmm, the behaviour you comment seems sensible, because the -p option is for opening the document on the page labeled that way. The bug #613449 adds an option for using absolute number pages instead of page labels.
