Smartforms : page count problem

Hi everyone,
I am using the system variable SFSY-FORMPAGES and when the total pages is above 9, I get a star "*" instead of the real number of pages.
Can someone help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi David,
maybe there isn't enough space for the text in the field
Try to use SFSY-FORMPAGES(C) (condense spaces) or try to give more space to the text.
Let me know.
Best regards,
Manuel

Smartforms -Page Skipping Problem in Continue Sheet Printing.....

Hi Gurus,
I face problem with multiple page printing in dot matrix printer for purchase order printing.
Here are the details about my requirement
Our client Purchase order pre-printed Paper size Width 303 mm Height 203 mm and continued sheet. I have created a z layout zpoprint for the above size and assigned it in smarforms and select DINA4 transverse in printer. Whenever we printing 2nd page it starts printing after 5 cm. My friends asked me to create a customized page format in server properties in printer. Is there any other way to overcome this issue? Anybody face this problem kindly reply to me.

Hi
Though you can double check the page layouts of both pages of your smartform, also keep in consideration that using a dot matrix printer to get the output of smartforms will have some impact of the positioning of the print as dot matrix printers are mechanical in nature(wheels are moving!).
Whereas, in laser printers, the whole data is taken, formatted and then sent to print.

Smartforms - page protection problem

Hi,
I have made an invoice form with smartforms. To protect the positions of page breakes, I have made all position nodes in one folder note and set the page protection flag for that folder. Because in tables the page protection option is not working, I have made it all with paragraphs...
This is my problem now:
If the form has more than one page, I have to show the sum of all positions of the first page on the bottom of the page and one the top of the next page. Therefore I have calculated the sum inside the loop of the positions (at the end of the loop).
This is normaly working... But if I have two pages and only ONE position does not fit on the first page, the calculated sum contains the sum of ALL positions, although the last position is shown on the next page!
Any ideas, how I can only calculate the positions that fit on one page FOR REAL?
Thank You very much!
Cheers Arne

Hi,
I encountered a similar problem as ur doing.In dat scenario what i did was that I created a Loop instead of a table and secondly based on the page size please create a style with proper an appropriate tab and use this through out while displaying the line items.
Using a tab will ensure equal spacing everywhere and the data will not overflow from any line and where ur writing a variable place an addition (C) at the end of that variables between the &. This also ensures that the data doesnt overflow and confines to the space.
Hope this will help.

Hi Suri,
How about this commands
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES&
Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.

JSF 1.2 - Problem with passing page count to bean to create list

I have this select option:
<f:verbatim>Pages: </f:verbatim>
<h:selectOneMenu id="selectPage" value="#{pageList.selectedPage}">
 <f:selectItems value="#{pageList.selectPages}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>And the backing bean (called mybean2) for this is:
private int pages;
public void getPages(int Pages)
 this.pages = Pages;
// getter methods
public List<SelectItem> getSelectPages()
 selectPages = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
 pages++;
 for (int i = 1; i > pages; i++) {
 selectPages.add(new SelectItem(Integer.toString(i), Integer.toString(i)));
 return selectPages;
public String getSelectedPage()
 return selectedPage;
// setter methods
public void setSelectPages(List<SelectItem> selectPages) {
 this.selectPages = selectPages;
public void setSelectedPage(String selectedPage) {
 this.selectedPage = selectedPage;
}The getPages method above gets the page count from mybean1.submit method. Thus, for example, when the submit method returns 30, how am I able to pass this value into the getSelectPages so I can dynamically created the number of pages

You could store the value in the session and remove it when you need to use it.Thanks, r035198x. I tried that before and users from other Java forums suggest that I shouldn't do it this way as I am adding more codes than necessary to pass technically a value from one bean to another. Hence, I decided to follow their advice and went and created a generic bean that can be referenced by other beans for pages calculation. Some users also suggest using Dependency Injection (available for JSF 1.2) to try to accomplish the result I want. I've also read about this method in JSF 1.2 spec - but without much example, I'm pretty much in the dark as to how this work. Unfortunately, I've only been on JSF for the last 4 weeks so I'm still a newbie - please excuse any "dumb" questions I have asked on this forum so far...
What I currently has working for me is moving the method to calculate the pages from mybean1 to mybean2. This means all I have to do now for the other beans (11 remaining) is passed a few parameters to mybean2's method that calculate pages.

How to start the page count from second page (first is title)

Hi all,
I have been using Livecycle for a little while now and think I have got to grips with quite a bit of it to make some fairly simple interactive forms, but I have started to make more complex forms now and although I am able to work a lot of things out, one thing has stumped me. There are lots of threads about page numbering, but none seem to address my problem: I wish to have a 'page number' on the master page (done that) but I have 2 master pages, one is used for the first page (then not at all) and the second master page is used after that, that is the one with the page count on, that way the page number appears at the bottom on every page, apart from the first one. I need a way for the count to 'skip' the first page (as this is a title page and I do not want that numbered) and start numbering from page two of the form, but have it numbered as page 1.
So basically the document will be Title page (no numbering), then pages after that of the form, starting from '1' shown on the bottom- it is a dynamic form that may change length as the user adds to it. Is there a script that I need to use, and if so how should I implement it? Any help would be appreciated, apologies if this is not very clear!

Use the Custom object "Master Page n of m" on the second master page.

[Acrobat X Pro] File locks and page counts when printing

Hi,
We have two users on Acrobat X Pro Win 7 X32.
On both systems they have the following issues.
1) If they were to print only page 1 for example, they can set a page count of 5 copies and it would be fine. If later on they were to print page 10 and they would also like 5 copies, the page count has reverted to the default 1 copy. It doesn't remember the selection of 5 copies from the previous print.
Is this a bug?
2) File locks occur on all files even if they are specifically closed. The file lock is only removed once they close Acrobat down entirely. This has cause alot of problems. Has Adobe acknowledged this as a fault yet?
Thanks.

Make sure the Preview panel in Windows Explorer is disabled.

How to Determine the "Total" Page Count on HP 2575 All-in-one printer?

Looking at how to determine the "Total" Page Count on HP 2575 All-in-one printer? I've seen directions for other HP printers but can't seem to find any for the HP 2575 All-in-one printer. I am trying to find approximately how many pages my printer has printed since I've owned it. Any help is much appreciated.

The manual says you should be able to use the Embedded Web Server to view statistics.

Parsing later version PDF documents for page count

We send a large number of contracts in PDF format to an EDI application and need to know the page count in advance. We currently use a perl script to parse the PDF files for the following:
1 0 obj
<<
/Type /Pages
/Kids
[ 13 0 R
16 0 R
/Count 2
>>
endobj
This is the format of the PDF-1.3 documents. Unfortunately, the syntax is different for PDF-1.4,1.5,and 1.6.:
obj<</Metadata 21 0 R/Outlines 27 0 R/Pages 28
0R/Type/Catalog>>endobj35 0
Is it possible to parse the page count from these versions?

Actually, the fact that your parser EVER WORKED on ANY PDF files is amazing - since the fragment you posted is actually quite unusual for any version of PDF.
The correct way for you to solve this problem is to get a PDF parser (there are native Perl ones such as Text::PDF) and use that gather the information you need.

Smartform page numbering

Hi experts,
I am displaying notification numbers in the ALV format. when the user selects few of the notification numbers and click on display button it should display the notification details using smartform.
I have to trigger a new page for every notification number.
I had problem in numbering the smartform pages.
For example if the user selects 3 notification numbers say 1st one takes 3 pages, second one takes one page and third one takes 2 pages then i have number the pages as below.
1st notif:1of 3,2 of 3,3 of 3.
2nd notif:1 of 1.
3rd notif:1 of 2,2 of 2.
Please give me some suggestion.
Thank you.
Regards,
Bharat Kalagara.

How do you get the page count on an old hp 1012 laserjet printer?

How do you get the page count on an old hp 1012 laserjet printer?

You should find this information on the configuration page. To print a configuration page, press and hold the green GO button until all of the lights cycle, approximately five seconds, then release the button. The Configuration Page will print.
You can find more information in this document: Identifying Page Count.

Need help in smartforms page break

HI Experts,
I need yout help in Smartforms.
My requirement is I want to check my current page count with total number of pages in smartform.
Based on above , I wish to print some text only on the main window of last page.Currently, the text is getting printed on all pages.
Steps taken:
1) SFSY-FORMPAGES & SFSY-PAGE already checked but both of them get set simultaneously so the concept doesn't work.
2) Tried creating a custom FM and using total number of line items available at ITEM level . Doesn't work .
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhinav.

Hi sap_wiz,
I have 2 pages into my smartform ( FIRST & NEXT ). The SFSY-FORMPAGES parameter is not getting set at the trigger of MAIN window of FIRST page .
If I check the value both FORMPAGES & PAGES parameter are 1 and on next page it gets set as 2 & 2. So I am not able to use SFSY concept.
Hi DeepakNandikanti ,
I wish to print the text at the end of MAIN window towards the FOOTER of table ( MAIN window has a table ) and not outside the window.
Thanks,
Abhinav.

Resetting Page count

I have a document that explains step by step procedures for a software program. It's all contained within one indd file. First half is for employees, second half is for managers. I have setup on my master page a page x out of x using variable text. The problem that I am having is that I need to reset the page counts for the manager section to begin at 1 instead of a continuation from the employee section since when I export it to PDF I create two separate documents.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Fernando

Someone will jump in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there is a variable available for section page counts. Why not do this as two documents? If necessary you can combine them in a book.

Page Count

I have had a couple of documents that add blank pages no matter what you change the page count to....it drives me totally craxy. Close it and open it or make a pdf and get extra pages. It is only in the body section of the document. We have cover, toc, body, and then back cover. A co-worker is having the same problem with a document.
Page Count Set to Don't Change in book and document. I thought I had read about this somewhere but couldn't find it.
Is there an eaxy answer to correcting?

You also have to look at the following chapter to see if it's been set
to start on a left- or right-hand page. If, for example, chapter 1 is
three pages long, chapter 2 cannot start on page 4 if it's set to begin
on a right-hand page. So FrameMaker inserts a blank page 4 to make
chapter 2 start on a right-hand page (page 5).
From the book window, right-click on the file(s), select Pagination,
and set 1st Page Side to "Next Available." Note that this option is not
available when setting pagination from within a document window.
