Dynamically display the page numbers on forms

Hi,
I have 10 pages in a form with the common footer section/fap in all pages. I used the common footer section to maintain the consistent left and right footer (having State specific footer information) on all ten pages. But I would like to display the page number dynamically based on page number as specified below:
For example, for page 1, it should display the footer as Page 1A,for page 2 it should display as Page 1B, for page 3 it should display as Page 1C etc.,
Can anyone help me on this issue how can I dynamically display the page number based on the current page as per the above requirement.
Thanks,
Srini.

Ignoring the fact that you have 10 pages that you want to label all as "page 1", assuming you have version 11.4 (? or higher) you might be able to do this.
Somewhere around that version the concept of "Print time" fields was introduced where you can define a field that will make a call-out to generate the value at the point in time when it tries to print.
You would name the field something like: ~DAL MyPageValue
Yes, with the tilde next to DAL and a space between DAL and the name of a script you want to execute that would do your calculation. As the previous reply mentions, you would have to keep track of your own page counter to know whether to append the 'A', 'B', 'C', etc. to the "Page 1" description you intend.

  • How to display the Page Numbers in AP Check Print Report

    Hi
    I am using <?for-each@section:G_CHECKS?> at form field. But It did not works for me.
    Please guide me inthis regard.
    Thanks
    Namitha

    In your case,
    <?for-each@section:G_CHECKS?>
    Table (A word table)
    Put the Form-Fields that you want to display
    Just type 1 of 1 where you want to display the page number.
    End Table
    <?end for-each?>
    Now on Microsoft Word
    Go to Insert -> Page Number -> Format
    Select Number Format: 1,2,3.....
    Under Page Numbering: select Continue from previous section
    That should do it.
    Thanks,

  • Master pages do no display auto page numbering

    This is strange. I set up auto page numbering on the master pages and the document pages display the page numbers correctly. But later on I thought the page numbers were too large so I went to the master pages to change the size and there's nothing. Thinking the page numbers were hidden from view or somehow were white in color (i.e, they were there but weren't being displayed) I chose Select All but still nothing.

    You're a genius. Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Is there any way to display document page numbers and section page numbers at the same time?

    Hi, I have different sections within my document starting the page numbering at 1. Besides the section page numbers I would also like to display the actual document page numbers in the header (eg. you are on page 10 of the document and page 4 of the section). Is there any way to do that? Thanks

    You can maybe use the Find/Change
    Command+i
    See if that can work for you.
    But like Steve said it is good practice to use Paragraph Style whenever you have lots of Type, I just get lazy sometimes.. lol
    Thanks

  • How can we print the page numbers for TABLE OF CONTENTS form When its excluded from the form page count ?

    Hi Experts,
    We have TABLE OF CONTENTS followed by 100 forms with totally 215 pages.
    We have checked in the Exclude from form page count option for TABLE OF CONTENTS form in Group level.
    The forms followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form all are using FORMSETPAGENUM rule in footer.
    the very first form followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form the page number starts at 1 of 215 and the last form ends at 215 of 215.
    Now i want to print the Page number for TABLE OF CONTENTS form alone.
    How can we do that ?  Any thoughts ?
    Regards,
    RAMAN C

    Hi Raman,
    I guess, you have included 'Exclude Page Count' option in Table Of Content (TOC) form.
    There is a limitation in studio. The page number functions (FORM PAGE NUM OF/ FORMSET PAGE NUM OF) will be ineffective when we select the 'Exclude Page Count' option in TOC form. Hence, you was not able to print the Form Page Count in TOC form.
    The only way to print page count is to deselect 'Exclude Page Count' option. Then you can normally print the TOC Page Count in TOC form. However, thiS TOC page count will add to the Total formset Page Count. The Formset Page Count can be controlled through Postransdal using the script [FORMSET PAGE NUM = TotalPages() - 1]

  • The page numbers on my e-mail are missing, how do I get them back?

    The page numbers are missing on my e-mail page and I have looked into help and cannot find the answer. I use to have 25 messages per page and now it is continuous and very annoying.

    Hi yraceburu1909,
    From your description, I understand that your webmail provider used to display 25 emails per page, but now it is showing all the emails in a continuous form, where you can scroll down the page.
    It appears that your webmail provider is Yahoo!, is this correct?
    Yahoo! recently redesigned their webmail, and it is the only version available to users, so there is not much that can be done. Please understand that this is not a browser related issue, so Firefox is not at fault.
    Please see [http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-New-Yahoo-Mail-Gets-Infinite-Scrolling-Preview-Pane-to-the-Right-358793.shtml this link] for more information about the Yahoo! Mail redesign.
    I hope that this information is useful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks!!

  • Improve portlet performance - display the page before the end of the procedure

    Some web pages display initial data and then continue to grow as
    more data arrives.
    I would love to do the same in a portlet procedure... A
    procedure containing a loop that generates HTML for each
    iteration.
    Is it possible to have the browser display the page after one
    iteration and then continue to grow after each subsequent one???
    Please say it's possible...
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Fabrice,
    the Dynamic Page is a special form of portlet that is supported by Oracle9iAS Portal internally, which means that it is not recommended to tweak the generated PL/SQL package even though you have access to it. By doing this you won't be able to make any changes using Portal UI because every time you do the changes your code will be regenerated. Unfortunately, I don't see an easy way to extract the information you are looking for in the Dynamic Page portlet. My recommendation is to programmatically create a PL/SQL portlet that implements the same business logic as your Dynamic Page portlet. This way you will gain full control on your code and will have all advantages of PDK-PL/SQL.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem in resetting the Page numbers

    Hi,
    I am using to print PO report using XML publisher.
    The layout that is needed is
    Header
    ---- It cointains page number x of y ,po number,po creation date,and other details.
    Body
    ---- It cointains po lines and po headers data.
    end body
    After the body ends we need to print Service note in a seperate page.But this service note should not have header and the pages of the service note will not be included in total pages of the PO.
    If the PO is 10 pages and service note 2 pages then the total page of PO should be 10.
    This is for one PO.We have to print many number of POs in a single request.
    Presently the problem is that for resetting the page numbers of service note I am using a section break after the end of body.What it does is it reset the page number.But the problem is first all the POs are displayed then its service note.But I need one PO and then its service note .Then the second PO and its service note.

    I have used the following method to call the template based on IF condition as follows:
    The way I expected the outcome is:
    if the COPY_ORIGINAL variable's value is '(Copy)' then it shoud print once the template with a label '(Copy)' in it.
    else
    if the COPY_ORIGINAL variable's value is '' (empty) then it should print 4 times the template, with different labels as: 'Original' , 'Accounts Copy', 'FP Store Copy' and 'Gate Copy'
    the way I used the xml tags is mentioned below:
    <?if: COPY_ORIGINAL='(Copy)'?>
    <?call:TC?>
    <?end if?>
    <?if: COPY_ORIGINAL=''?>
    <?call:TC1?>
    <?end if?>
    <?template:TC1?>
    <?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,4,1)?>
    <?if: position()=1?>Original<?end if?>
    <?if: position()=2?>Accounts Copy<?end if?>
    <?if: position()=3?>FP Store<?end if?>
    <?if: position()=4?>Gate Copy<?end if?>
    <?for-each:/SFFONT001/LIST_G_HEADER_ID?>
    <?call:TC?>
    <?end for-each?>
    <?end for-each?>
    <?end template?>
    <?template:TC?>
    <?ORDER_NUMBER?>
    <?end template?>
    In this case, it won't call the template TC1 and reset the page numbers, instead it prints the page numbers continuously.. (no resetting of page numbers)
    why the following If statement:
    <?if: COPY_ORIGINAL=''?>
    <?call:TC1?>
    <?end if?>
    is not working for the statement:
    <?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,4,1)?>
    Please update...

  • I can't get the page numbers in my table of contents to update when I update the book.

    I'm using Framemaker 11 and I have two TOCs in my book: one in English and one in French. Each TOC links to different documents in the same book. The reference page for each TOC is set and correctly displays the heading 1 and 2 I've told it to display, but the numbers do not update when the content in my document files changes to a different page. I've checked the conditional text settings in my document files; they are correct. When I update the book, I choose to update Numbering, All Cross-References, All Text Insets, OLE Links, Generate Table of Contents, Lists, and Indexes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    I just tested this out and saw the same result as Rick - a book with child books ignores all generated files within the child books. This applies to adding content from them (e.g. their titles) to actually including them in the output. This applies to all versions of FM since v.9!
    However, there is a workaround for this. You need to use the hierarchical book structure in the parent book and create Folders for each book that you want to add. Then manually add the generated files (TOC, IX, List of..., etc.) and book to the respective folder. This is what it looks like for two child books in a parent book:
    Note that the child book generated files (TOC, IOR) show as just regular files at this point in the parent book. To get the page numbering to be continuous throughout the parent book, you will need to make a couple of passes. First set folder, files and books to have the Numbering continue from the previous (if you want all sequential page numbers). This will set the page numbers correctly except for what they were in the respective book TOCs. You will need to use the starting page number of the child TOC files in each folder (it shows in the Book status bar when click on the TOC file in the master/parent book).
    To set the individual book TOCs to be correct in the parent book, open the child book and set the TOC Numbering to start at the page stated in the parent book (status bar). Now update the child book to set the correct (parent book) page numbers in the child TOC. [This is a necessary manual step, as the page number assigned in the parent book is ignored when th child book is individually updated and FM uses 1 to start off the sequence in the child book.]  Repeat for each child book in the master/parent book.
    The final step is to Update the parent book and create the PDF. You should now have all of the files included in the PDF and the child TOCs should show the correct page numbers of the master book.
    This whole process of books within books seems a bit borked and one shouldn't have to be jumping through hoops to include child generated files. Please report this as a bug via: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm

  • How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

    How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

    Click at bottom of the first page:
    Menu > Insert > Section break
    Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
    Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
    Click into the header or footer of the second page:
    Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
    If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
    If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

  • In pages(not the New version) footer is over to the left, so when i put the page numbers in they don't sit right. How do i move the footer

    In pages(not the New version) footer is over to the left, so when i put the page numbers in they don't sit right. How do i move the footer

    The footer is not only to the left. To get the page number to the right you can use Format > Align right. That will make all page numbers move to the right. Is that what you want?

  • I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

    I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

    Hi KnoopL,
    Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

  • Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
    I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
    Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
    Is this a local or online PDF?
    If local, is the file really exactly the same?
    If online, in what browser?

  • Creating PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and can only see the first 10 pages in PDF even when the page numbers on bottom state 10 of 13 (or any number greater than 10).

    PDFs create great, unless they should be over 10 pages and then it appears the data was converted to PDF by viewing the page numbers at the bottom of the PDF but you can only view the first 10 pages in the pdf file.

    Hi stephaniec0103,
    Could you please let me know what exact dot version of Acrobat 9 and OS you are using.
    Have you tried repairing Acrobat from the Help menu?
    Acrobat 9 is an older version and incompatible with new OS versions, so I would suggest you to try using Acrobat XI (latest version) and check for the same.
    You may download a 30-day free trial version of Acrobat from the below mentioned link:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes.
