Hi, me again.

I've found this in the archive:

In my experience the Tex back end always gets the page numbers 
wrong, just as you report. i.e. The title page is "1", and
the rest are numbered "2", "3" and so on. Also the first
page of each chapter formatted to appear on
the right hand side, but gets printed as the next page rather than
the next odd page.

If I understand things right, Jade generates Tex which pdfjadetex or
jadetex converts to PDF or dvi relatively.

This would then mean that the problem is in jade or *jadetex.

Does anyone know how this can be fixed, or have a workaround?

cheers,
