[Tex/LaTex] How to name (numbering) the cover page

coverspage-numberingpdf

I want to create a pdf like this…

enter image description here

I know that using \pagenumbering we can switch between (i, ii) and (1, 2, 3)… but how to name a specific page? particularly the cover.

Further comments:

Take as an example the following code and look the page numeration when is opened with acrobat reader.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{bookmark}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\begin{center}
{\Huge COVER PAGE}
\end{center}
\newpage
\pagenumbering{roman}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}
{\Huge This is title of my document}
\end{center}
The first pages of the book are numbered with roman numbers (i, ii, ...). 
The numeration changes to arabic numbers from introduction.
\newpage
\lipsum[1-12]
\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\chapter{Introduction}
\lipsum[1-12]
\end{document}

Well, this is 'tricky'. Page names are page labels in the sense of PDF. One has to insert a PageLabels object into the pdfcatalog and enable pdfpagelabels=true for the hyperref package.

There a label prefixes, specified with the PDF command /P -- here set to 'Cover'

The syntax is as follows

/Nums[ 0 << /P (Cover) >>
        1 << /S /D >>
      ]

This will set the first page (0) as cover and consecutive ones will be shown as 'decimals' /D

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[pdftex,pdfpagelabels=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{blindtext}%

\begin{document}

\pdfcatalog{%
  /PageLabels << /Nums [ 0 << /P (Cover) >>% 
  1 << /S /D >>%   
  ]
  >>
}

\tableofcontents
\chapter{Start}
\blindtext[40]
\end{document}

Update ... much easier solution

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[pdftex,pdfpagelabels=true]{hyperref}



\newcommand{\CoverName}{Cover}%


\begin{document}

\pagestyle{empty}%
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\CoverName}
\begin{center}
\Huge COVER PAGE
\end{center}
\cleardoublepage

% Switch to roman numbering
\pagenumbering{roman}



\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}
{\Huge This is title of my document}
\end{center}
The first pages of the book are numbered with roman numbers (i, ii, ...). 
The numeration changes to arabic numbers from introduction.

\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage
\blindtext[10]
\cleardoublepage
\pagestyle{plain}%  Change later on to more appropiate style
\pagenumbering{arabic}%
\chapter{Introduction}
\blindtext[20]
\chapter{More stuff}
\end{document}

It requires the Adobe Reader feature 'show logical page numbers' to be activated.
