Plzzz,whats the story of page number in PDF files?

Our teacher told us to write the sources at the end of our research.
he said to write it in this form:

[1]name of the authors,"name of the article",publish company,PP(means the pages of the article which it has got published),date
[2]…
.
.
.

Now my question is about PP(page number) which is expected to be a range for example like 400-405 or a page like 400.

I have a Source which i have both its e-book,and i have seen its book too. But we should write its e-book specification,not the book’s for the source.

But the e-book,has nothing due to PP on it(page number at the start of it,nor at the end of it.)
But it(e-book) contains almost all of the pages of the the original book.
its a book in 200 pages.
I wonder is PP in this case as same as the number of the book pages?
should i write 1-200 ?! or 200?
Or the PP in the article is different from number of book pages,in this case?

Your question asks about PDF files. The page numbers on each page don’t necessarily match the numbers at the bottom of the Adobe Reader screen.

I would use the page numbers printed on each page, not the Adobe numbers. But. If the ebook has no printed page numbers, then I would use the Adobe numbers.

With ebooks, I think you have to be specific where you saw it. The web address, I should think, is very important also.
