Dynamic page number

dynamic page number

I am trying to print multiple documents in one report, the requirement is to reset page numbers for every document(to start counting from 1)

I don't have control over the size of the document because it is a flow table

I am using page conditional break to finish the document and start a new one but I couldn't change the page number.

Plz help I am really trying to solve this for a week now.

I am using 7.1 ADL

thanks

I figured it out thanks any way

If anyone looking for a solution for the same issue

he solution is as follows

create 3 numeric fields in the header of the table

total

counter 1

counter 2

the total is to count the number of pages of each document

in initialization event

total = total + 1 ;

the counter 1 is to make the counter of the pages from 0 to total (invisible)

in calculate event

if ( counter 1 < total ) then

counter 1 = counter 1 + 1 .

elseif( counter 1 >= total ) then

counter 1 = 1

counter 2 to show the page number of the document

in layout ready

counter 2 = 1

in calculate event

counter 2 = counter 1 + 1

Note: this is the logic with little modification create the code

I change to 8.1 ALD

but still couldn't find the solution for the problem
