How can I start pagenumbers, where the first section occurs in LaTex? [closed]

This question is related to the post about having abstract at the titlepage. I want to reset the page numbering at the given section.

Solution 1:

You can also reset page number counter:

\setcounter{page}{1}

However, with this technique you get wrong page numbers in Acrobat in the top left page numbers field:

\maketitle: 1
\tableofcontents: 2
\setcounter{page}{1}
\section{Introduction}: 1
...

Solution 2:

I use

\pagenumbering{roman}

for everything in the frontmatter and then switch over to

\pagenumbering{arabic}

for the actual content. With pdftex, the page numbers come out right in the PDF file.
