Since Roman numeral page support is not natively available on the Android app, you can navigate your subchapters using the built-in outline and thumbnail features.

The Android mobile interface is optimized for touch interaction and smaller screens. Instead of typing page numbers, users can utilize visual and structural navigation tools to jump between subchapters quickly.
