This can at best be valid for future production. And moreover, how do you find the correct page when some material (e.g. the footnotes) has been moved, and the page contents are no longer consecutive? I have a solution of both problems for DP-produced books using the files output by DP before the post-processing stage; these files correspond to individual pages of the original book, and you can find the image corresponding to a fragment of text through a grep on the DP-file. The concept has been implemented recently by a student, and a test of 300 recently posted PG ebooks should be publicly available before the end of this week. This is a part of a system for ebook maintenance (an user can submit a proposal of correction of a text through a web page, after consulting the original images, and an administrator later can accept - or reject - the proposals and obtain automatically a corrected version).
