I've come across is only a couple of times, and usually if that's the case, I scan the cover and the inside, or insert blank pages as needed prior to the pages that have the actual text so that I have enough to equal the Roman numerating. I hope that makes sense.

I scanned a book (it's a religious one) that has several unnumbered pages of front matter, and then it starts numbering with Page xi, and has something like thirty pages of Roman numerals after that. I started numbering with i, but there were only seven pages before xi, so it appears there are three missing pages, though there aren't. How do I number the front matter in this book? Thanks much!
