What is the trick to be able to successfully print a PDF file from (a) Ocular and (b) from Libreoffice?
The question really relates to the the selection of page numbers when printing a range of pages. For example, I opened a PDF file in ocular and selected a range of� pages to print --eg, 53 to 85 but the printing started from page 42 (I watched as the pages were being printed so stopped the job before too many pages [and ink] were wasted.
The same happened (but with a different PDF file) when the file was opened in Libreoffice. At the bottom of the displayed page it shows the correct page number as the start page for the pp range I want to print but the printing begins from a different page (similar to the experience with Ocular). I also notice that with Libreoffice the left hand column displays a 'slideshow' page number but using these page numbers produced even mare wasted paper.
The question therefore is: is there a "trick" in selecting the correct starting/ending pages to be printed when a PDF file is opened in either Ocular or LibreOffice?
All help most appreciated.

[02-06-20 01:43]: pdf's frequently begin with a few pages enumerated with Roman Numerals and then more pages beginning with Arabic Numerials. The printing begins with the first page as Arabic Numeral "1" which may actually be Roman Numeral "I", so you must account for those "extra" pages at the beginning of the document. clear as mudddd...
