I think you can actually set the numbering scheme in PDFs to whatever
you want, if you have full Acrobat.
So you can do all your front-matter in romans, and Acrobat reader will
show it as roman, and you can navigate using romans. And then do other
sections in whichever numbering convention you choose. I think you can
even set up sections, eg 2-18 style of numbering.
You impose it over the file after you have created the PDF, and it saves
to the file (as far as I remember, it's been a while since I've done
it).

Subject: atw: Re: page numbering - which style to use
The first time I saw this suggestion I was firmly against it. I think
this
is because I associated documents numbered sequentially from 1 with
authors
who didn't know how to use their publishing tool (other signs: use of
'Normal plus overrides' instead of proper paragraph styles; use of
typewriter-style multiple tabs and paragraphs to position text).
Now that I'm over this snooty reaction, the single numbering scheme for
PDFs makes sense. Many times I've had review comments that said
something
like, "Delete the last sentence of the second paragraph on page 20" and
had
to decide whether this meant the actual page 20 or the one shown in
Adobe
Reader as "20 of 300".
