showing the pages of octave.pdf

Package: octave2.9-doc
Version: 2.9.4-12
Severity: normal
octave2.9-doc comes with /usr/share/doc/octave2.9-doc/octave.pdf.gz
To reproduce the bug
1) gunzip the octave.pdf.gz file to octave.pdf
2) open the file with kpdf
$kpdf /usr/share/doc/octave2.9-doc/octave.pdf &
3) Select contents tab in the left panel of kpdf
4) Click on any of the links say "Preface"
the user is shown pg 2 instead of pg 1.
Similarly click on the link "Distribution"
the user will be shown pg 5 instead of pg 4.
I have checked with acroread and kpdf. Both of them exhibit the above
behaviour. However xpdf exhibits correct behaviour (without any off by one
errors) which made me think that may be it is a problem with acroread and kpdf.
However when viewing /usr/share/doc/maxima-doc/maximabook-19-Sept-2004.pdf
all the three viewers namely acroread, kpdf, xpdf did not exhibit any off by one
errors.
So I am guessing that there is something going on in the way octave.pdf is
created. Hence I am reporting the bug against octave2.9-doc
thanks
