plain xetex page labels

Question

there are some PDF files that some reader displays the printed page number as the current page number. I also saw, that this can be achieved in latex with hyperref package. what I'm look for is what\special command I need to achieve the same result; I can't find it in the PDF reference.

The page labels are set in the /Catalog object:

\special{pdf:docview <</PageLabels<< ... >>>>}

Example: title, i, ii, 1, 2

\special{pdf:docview <</PageLabels<</Nums[0<</P(title)>>1<</S/r>>3<</S/D>>]>>>>}

In the PDF reference it can be found in section 12.4.2 Page Labels on page 374 (382 of 756).

As if I recall that I once saw this. – Adam L. S. Oct 10 '12 at 07:26
The good feature about this is that it can be issued anywhere in the document, so I can make a macro, that collect all the page numbering formats, and then puts this special command at the end of the document. (I'm not sure that it is good practice though.) – Adam L. S. Oct 10 '12 at 22:04
\special cannot be output after the last page. – Heiko Oberdiek Oct 10 '12 at 22:57
I didn't said that. But it can be put at the end of the last page. – Adam L. S. Oct 11 '12 at 23:26
But it can't be set in \AtEndDocument, because the last page might already be output. – Heiko Oberdiek Oct 12 '12 at 00:42
