I have three cover pages and I want the map pages to start at 1 under the page thumbnails. I've succesfuly made this happen by opening up the map book in a text editor and adding the following in the metadata section
This says that starting at page index 0, number pages with lowercase roman, and starting at page index 3, number with decimal. This works and I can even do a search and replace with my text editor to get it in the right pace and make it happen. What won't work is doing a simple search and replace using python since it gets fouled up on the binary characters in the pdf. My python code iterates through 256 towns to build separate map books.

One more thing I looked at is getting the properties of a modified working pdf with pdfMiner. This property is listed as follows;
