A well-prepared PDF can include metadata about each page, so that reader software will be able to display the "logical" page number in addition to the actual numerical index. E.g. a page in the prologue of a book might show up as "xvii (19 of 150)".

This is important because if you want to print a subset of pages, you have to specific the actual numerical page numbers in the print dialog, which may not be the same as the page number on the page.
