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

Dynamic page number references?

Is there a way to have page number references dynamic, so that they automatically update if the pagination of a publication changes?
I've read about generating a dynamic table of contents, so I will be doing that certainly.
But what about page references that fall outside the TOC? For example, let's say there's a parenthetical reference in the text of a publication that says something like "see page 45 for details on XYZ." Can the page number here be somehow linked to its referent? Is there some way to tag an element (a heading, for example, or a text selection, or a frame containing a graphic) and then have a page number reference linked to that tag?
Sort of like how anchors work on the web.
Thanks.

Great, thanks.
p.s. I just did a search of the forum for "cross references" and the only result I got was this thread! Odd.
I notice from the InDesign help documentation that cross references seem to be for indexing. Not sure if that applies to my situation--for example, if you mention a particular sidebar later on in the text and want to refer the reader back to that sidebar...how would you reference the sidebar dynamically so when it changes location, the page number reference changes accordingly?

PDF417 Barcode - Dynamic Page Number

Hi Experts,
Requirement is to code PDF417 barcode in all pages of the letter footer. Barcode data should contain page number & total page#. Number of pages can vary based on different scenarios.
Is there a way to implement this in 11.3?
(It was done in 12.2 with the help of post tran dal and field properties set to PDF417. But requirement is in an application which uses 11.3. And PDF417 is not available in 11.3 field properties.)
Thank you,

Page number, in a table, in footer

Hello,
I'm having an issue which I think might be a legitimate bug. Here's the probem:
• I'm adding the dynamic "page number", into a table, that resides within the footer.
• When the page number reaches double digits (10, 11, etc), the number displays as two digits, but the spacing is being treated like a single character.
So, when you hit "10" the zero overlaps any text that comes after the number. You can add extra spaces to make up for this issue, but then the previous, single digit, pages are all messed up. They have way to much spacing now.
I've tried everything I can think of and still can't get around this issue. Starting a brand new document, removing all formatting, etc. I'm hoping someone has run across this before and knows of a solution, or maybe an update to fix this in Pages (Fingers crossed..haha).
Any help or comments is appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Jerry,
I've saved a screen shot of my existing working document as well as a brand new blank document to show that it's not my styles that's causing the issue. You will notice that the "10" page number is overlapping the text that follows it. When you highlight the "10" only the "1" get's highlighted, which makes me think it's representing that number incorrectly as a single digit.

Dynamically use page number in form field on spawned pages?

I have a form with spawned pages. JS for spawning page(s) works fine. However, one text field on template is driving me nuts. I would like this field ("CaseNum") to dynamically display page number, since page number also corresponds to case number. On templage ("getcase"), I can calculate value for CaseNum using custom calc script (event.value = this.PageNum). But that doesn't work because every spawned page gets the same value (ie, whatever is last spawned page number). I also tried JS below, using P0.getcase.CaseNum as the field on the template in which I want the page number/case number to be displayed:
var oPage = this.pageNum;
this.getField("P" + oPage + ".getcase" + ".CaseNum").value = oPage;
But, this doesn't work either, because the field on the spawned page automatically gets the prefix of P + page number + .getcase appended to the field name. Is there any way to dynamically used page number in a form field on spawned pages? If so, how? Note that while I am trying to use a dynamic case number on spawned pages, it presents the same issue as dynamically displaying page numbers on spawned pages. I'm a JS newbie, so any help appreciated. I've searched high and low on web and in forums and couldn't find the answer. Thx.

How to create a form based on table using dynamic page?

Hi,
I need to create a form using dynamic page. How do you pass values from the html form to a oracle procedure that will get executed on submission of the form ? I could not find any documents which shows how to do that. Can anyone please help me out with an example ?
thanks,
Mainak

Hi,
Something seems to get added to the form action because of "http". Hence I am removing it.
You need to write a procedure with the values in the as parameters. Say for example you want to insert a record into dept
table then
Dynamic page code
<html>
<body>
<form action="portalschema.insert_dept">
<input type="text" name="p_deptno">
<input type="text" name="p_dname">
<input type="submit" name="p_action" value="save">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Procedure code.
create or replace procedure insert_dept
(p_deptno in number,
p_dname in varchar2,
p_action in varchar2)
is begin
if p_action = 'save' then
insert into scott.dept(deptno,dname) values(p_deptno,p_dname);
commit;
end if;
end;
grant execute on insert_dept to public;
Hope this helps.

Calling a procedure from Dynamic Page

I am trying to call a procedure from a dynamic page. The procedure displays multi records from a table. I have created a procedure:
PROCEDURE process_student_request( p_primary_request in wwv_utl_api_types.vc_arr,
p_alternate_request in wwv_utl_api_types.vc_arr,
p_action in varchar2,
l_status in out varchar2);
When I hit the submit button on the dynamic page it does not execute the procedure and tries to open a new page. How do I get this to work?
Here is the text of the page:

Bob,
You have variables in your procedure like l_status, p_alternate_status which you do not have in the form. Are these IN or OUT variables ?
If these are IN variables, this proc will not work because you do not have any variable in the form. So from where does it get the values? There is not any default declared too. You have to explicitly define IN or OUT variables.
Have you also given execute permission to public ?

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

CASE statement in a dynamic page

I have written a query using a CASE statement in the select portion to evaluate column values and produce a text string. The query runs fine in sql*plus, but when I attempt to add the code to a dynamic page and compile it, I get the following error message:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 720:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CASE" when expecting one of the following:

I have written a function as a workaround, but would like to know why portal does not seem to like the "CASE" statement.

How to get the total page number when using Crystal Report in JSP

In my JSP, I use the class CrystalReportViewer to generate and display the report views. But this class only sypply the function to get the info of the active view.
Thus with this info, I only can get the active view's page number. How can I get the report total page number without showing the last page first?
Thanks.

Anything you do without submitting to form has to be done on the client side (ususally by JavaScript) using data which has been send already from the server.
With JavaScript you can do quite a bit. You can download tables which don't necessarilly appear on the screen, loading them into JavaScript arrays by dynamically generating javascript. Then you can pick up events like drop-box selection and use these tables to chose what you do next (e.g. preloading other fields, setting drop box content etc.).
Or, you can cause forms to be submitted when actions like a selection happen without the user clicking a button. It's generally a matter of how much data you'd need to transmit.
Another posibility is to use a Java applet, which can generate requests to the server and handle the results as it chooses. That are a number of problems with that but occasionally it's the best solution.
What you can't do is to handle user input inside a JSP. The JSP has come and gone before the user even gets to see your form.

Form in Dynamic page not working when checkbox is used.

I have created a form using dynamic page. The form most have display fields and a checkbox field. When I check a box, it assigns 'Y' value and when unclick, it assign 'N' to the database field.
When I submit the form, the procedure which is supposed to save the form data never gets executed. Well, at least it says, page not found HTTP 404 error.
Interestingly if I make this field a text box and manually enter 'Y' or 'N', and then submit the form, the procedure is executed. Data gets saved.
Is the checkbox not supposed to be used for a database field because checkbox value can be assigned only using javascript and the procedure never get that value ?
Can you please tell me how to use a checkbox for a database field using dynamic page ?
thanks,
Mainak

Sharmila,
When I said, the form does not get submitted, I meant that the procedure does not work. The form gets submitted but the procedure does not work. It gives HTTP 404 error. That is what perplexes me. I am unable to understand why the procedure does not work when I click a checkbox.
May be you can make this work. I am hopeless about this.

URGENT: iframe in a dynamic page. Strange Problem.

Hi all,
I have a typical problem.
I created a Dynamic Page which brings out the information of a Purchase Order (PO). (PO_REPORT)
Now the numer of items in a PO can vary from 1 to anything.... so I made a seperated report based on sql query (ITEM_DETAILS) which I can restrict to 5 records. Now I called this report using the <iframe> tag and passing the parameter value of the PO number to this report.
Until here everything is fine.
But the problem starts after this. I have a item code on this report (ITEM_DETAILS) which has an underlying link, clicking on which it runs the same report with an added parameter of Requisition number which again populates another iframe in the same dynamic page along with the Requistion details for that item.
But as the Dynamic page is loaded, the ITEM_DETAILS report's first 5 items are shown again. Even if I click on the item link on the 6th item (which will come on the next page) after the dynamic page is loaded, the first page will be loaded again.
Is there a way by which I can reach the same place after clicking on the link or if I click on the item code link only the contents of the requistion details frame are changed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Table of Content with page number for entire pdf

Hi
We need to merge dynamic pdf with n number of static pdf.
The output of the generated pdf has one of the page called Table Of Content with page number.
For this we have created following process
We created a form using Adobe livecycle form designer to populates input data(xml).
We created process to generate dynamic pdf .
We have static pdf's in some folder location(Eg:C:\temp)
We created xsl to generate DDX to merge Dynamic pdf with static pdf's by using an assembler operation in the Process
There are number of static specification pdf's inserted in between of dynamic pdf using logic in xsl.
We used bookmark option in xsl for creating table of content .
While invoking the process we are able to generate the correct merged pdf with some unformatted page of table of content
We can explain better in the following way where we are actually facing a challenge:
We need a table of content in the below mentioned format:

Since the pdf merging and numbering is done using ddx at runtime, page number tag is not there in xml and therefore the toc page cannot be populated at the time of form design.
The issue we are facing is that, by using ddx script we are not able to align id,name,description in table of content in proper manner. We want to wrap particular id ,name and description in their respective columns.
Currently, we are getting the below mentioned result which is not in a proper format.

Note: Page numbering has been done only after merging all the pdf(Dynamic and static) using ddx instead of the adobe livecycle form designer.
Is there any solution to resolve the formatting issue or any other option to create table of content dynamically ?

Hi SaCvP,
According to your description, you want to display the table of contents with page number in SSRS 2014.
In Reporting Services, the global variable PageNumber or Totalpages can be only used in the page header and page footer. In your scenario, you can create a table of content using document map, but we can’t specify the expression with PageNumber or Totalpages.
So your requirement can’t be achieved currently.
Reference:
Create a Document Map (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to change the page number of the existing PDF during assembling?

Hi All,
I am going to assemble two PDF's. Both the PDF's are having page no. So i am assembling two pdf's using invokeDDX method. I am setting page number in the DDX. Assembled PDF is having both the page no's, old page no and the newly generated page no. How to get ride of the old page no? If one PDF is of 2 pages and other PDF is of 3 pages.It should show only 1 of 5,2 of 5,.....5 of 5. It showing this along with 1 of 3,...3 of 3.
Thanks in advance.
Lavanya.

Hi
Please declare the line count for report page length.
When you do not declare it is taken as default 0 and this is dynamic page lenght of SAP ( limit is 60,000 lines).
Use statement REPORT <rep> LINE-COUNT <length> [(<pf>)].
Where <length> is line count. Use as per your requirement. <pf> is line reserved for footer if you require.
Additional you can use LINE-SIZE <width> to determine width of page.
Please reward if helpful.
Regards,
Sunil
