Hi Chaitanya,

This is pretty simple just follow below steps.

Identify if you want to print the page number in header or footer?

Once identified go to Library --> Standard Tab --> and you have an element for page n of m just select it and drag it on the master page.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.

My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:

Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :

1st page is the letter : no page number

2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D

3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D

4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D

5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D

Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.

I have used the follwing java scripting:

this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)

where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.

Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.

Thank You,

Regards,

Naresh.

To insert the value of a run-time property into a text object

You can insert the values of run-time properties into a text object. When the form is viewed, the actual value is inserted automatically.

The inserted value can have a different font, font size, and font style than the text object.

1. In the text object, place the cursor where you want the value of the run-time property to be merged.

2. Select Insert > [run-time property value].

  • To insert the current page number of the finished form, select Current Page Number.

  • To insert the total number of pages making up the finished, select Number of Pages.

  • To insert the current date/time, select Current Date/Time.

  • To insert the value of the locale setting for the application processing the form, select Viewer Locale.

  • To insert the name of the application processing the form, select Viewer Name.

  • To insert the version number of the application processing the form, select Viewer Version.

3. Select the run-time property value and edit its properties.

Hi Chaitanya,

use java script for the page number element like

this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this); in layout: ready
