Hide Page Numbers

[Former Member]

Hello community

I have the following requirement: I have my page numbering embedded in the master page of my interactive form.

I have to hide this page numbers on the first and the last page of the document.

How can I achieve that? Where do I have to embed what FormCalc Code?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Alexander,

In the Initialize Event write the following code.

var currPg = xfa.layout.page(this)
var pgCnt = xfa.layout.pageCount()

if (currPg == 1 or currPg == pgCnt)
  $.presence = "hidden"
  $.relevant = "-print"
endif

Thanks for your reply.

In what initialize event, the one of the Bodypage or the one of the UI Element in the Master Page?

Have you used the Page Number UI element??

How are you getting the page number on the pdf?

Currently I have a TextView Element embedded in the master page.

Coding in Master the Master Page in the ready:layout event:

this.rawValue=xfa.layout.page(this);

Hi Alexander,

write the formCalc code that I gave in the ready:layout event

Replace

 this.rawValue=xfa.layout.page(this); 

by

 $.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this) 

The earlier one must be in javascript.

you are confusing me....

I have a TextView Element in the MASTERPAGE which has to be either displayed or hidden.

So in WHAT Page (Body Page or Masterpage) do i have to place the code?

currently it does not work.

Don't get confused.

You may check how the sequence in which the events are being called by simply putting a message box in the events.

Now if it doesnt work in the form ready event,

try puttin it in the initialize event of the textview
