sn3ek Your answer got me most of the way there. I didn't set the current page using the viewControllerCreation methods though.

I made my ViewController also the delegate of the UIPageViewController. Then I set the PageControl's CurrentPage in that method. Using the pageIndex maintained I'm the ContentViewController mention in the original article.

- (void)pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController didFinishAnimating:(BOOL)finished previousViewControllers:(NSArray *)previousViewControllers transitionCompleted:(BOOL)completed
{
  APPChildViewController *currentViewController = pageViewController.viewControllers[0];
  [self.pageControl setCurrentPage:currentViewController.pageIndex];
}

don't forget to add this to viewDidLoad

self.pageViewController.delegate = self;

To follow up on PropellerHead's comment the interface for the ViewController will have the form

@interface ViewController : UIViewController
