Description

The page number of the page from which this image was scanned.

This field is used to specify page numbers of a multiple page (e.g. facsimile) document. PageNumber[0] is the page number; PageNumber[1] is the total number of pages in the document. If PageNumber[1] is 0, the total number of pages in the document is not available.

Pages need not appear in numerical order.

The first page is numbered 0 (zero).

We've seen reports of some broken applications reversing the PageNumber[0] and PageNumber[1] values.
