I'd vote to keep things as they are too. CSV index files are a good point. Mike might be ale to work some trickery adding the page offset, but it's another complication that's bound to introduce problems.

The thing that I would find hardest to deal with is the "burnt in" page numbers of the second (and third etc.) PDFs. Lots of the fakebook PDFs have page numbers in the corner. These are handy to find the page you want. With this page offset, you'd have to constantly be doing the arithmetic in your head to work out what the page number should read.

I can understand StuartV's confusion, but feel sure once he understands how and why things are as they are he he will be able to find a workflow that fits his way of doing things.
