How can I know on which page a field is printed on a report?
I use RDC from Visual Basic.
Thanks

It is possible. You should be having a field in your XSD schema for the username. Bind the username to a hidden field in your form.
In the designer, in form initialize event,
write the code: if hiddenfield.rawValue == "person A"
                             subform1.presence = "hidden";
                       if hiddenfield.rawValue == "person B"
                             subform2.presence = "hidden";
                             subform1.presence = "visible"   }
In your process, when your moving from one step to other step, update the uname accordingly and the form will respond according to the username.

Page Number in footer won't print

I am working in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.0. The document is combined of imported Microsoft Word & Excel 2010. I have been able to add a background and a footer with the page numbers. Both show in the electronic document. When I print, only the background prints, not the footer with the page numbers. Is there a setting I can change or something else I need to do in order to have the page numbers print?

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.

Printing by page number

Hi,
I'm working on a book, divided into five sections. For ease of manipulation, the sections are all separate documents, but the page numbers in each section start relative to the book as a whole, i.e., the first page in section two is '53'. So far so good, and the document as a whole transferred with no difficulty from Appleworks. In Appleworks if I wanted to then print, for editing say, pages 58 through 61, I would choose print in the file menu, fill in 58 and 61, and the appropriate pages would print. Pages, however, seems to insist on numbering the printed pages starting at page one in each section (document), so to print 58 to 61, say, I would fill in 6 - 9. This is awkward and Appleworks seemed better in this regard, am I missing something?
Thanks for any help,
Ray

I apologize, I never got the described behavior.
I inserted the string "Page # " in the footer
then I used the "Insert page number" feature.
When I print a selected range of pages, say 20 thru 25, I get the correct "Page #20, Page #21, Page #22, Page #23, Page #24, Page #25" at the bottom of the pages.
Of course, during the print task, the driver "tell me" that it is printing page 1, page 2 … but I am able to understand that it means "I'm printing the 1st asked page, the 2nd …"

Getting page number

Hi, I have a label in my report which is a placeholder column. Is there a way which I can find out which page number that label will print on?
Report Builder 10.1.2.3.0
many thanks

Like InoL said, srw.get_page_num will tell a formula what page number. If you want your field to display the page number on the report output, set the field source to "Page Number".
function F_SignatureFormatTrigger return boolean is
/* Using the "Print object on" property did not control the
   signature line because it's in the margin.*/
v_page_num          number;
begin
     srw.get_page_num (v_page_num);
     if     v_page_num = 1
     then     return (TRUE);
     else     return (FALSE);
     end if;
end;

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

Text too close to page number in TOC

Most of the time I can take care of unattractive line breaks in the TOC by putting in non-breaking spaces in a paragraph.
However, I sometimes have a situation where the text of a TOC entry is too close to the page number on the right. The text is so close to the page number that in some cases no leader dots show, or only one or two leader dots show.
The entry and its page number fit on a single line, so putting in non-breaking spaces won't solve the problem. I could put in a soft return (Shift-Enter) in the TOC entry to force a line break, but it isn't efficient because I have to put in the soft return manually each time the TOC is updated.
If anyone has a tip on how to handle this problem efficiently, I'd love to know about it.

Van
That is absolutely brilliant. It also seems to prevent multi-line TOC entries from encroaching on the page number area in general.
For ages I thought the only way around this ugly problem would be to wait 200 years for Adobe to give us four different indent options (first line left, left, right, and last line right) instead of the three that we currently have. (Last line right doesn't exist.)
I'll just add one more suggestion that might make your line breaks and page number positions in the TOC 100% automatic instead of merely 98%.
(It doesn't sound like much of an improvement, but if you've ever had to manually adjust the TOCs for 50 manuals every time you regenerated them, then you'll know where I'm coming from.)
If you have any TOC paragraph specifications that use more than one tab, for handling section or chapter numbers at the front of the paragraph for example, then you'll notice that if a TOC entry wraps to two or more lines then the page number will no longer be printed at its intended tab stop, but will use one of the earlier tab stops instead (because in the new line there are no longer any previous tab characters to fill the earlier tab stops).
The cure for this is to go to the TOC specification flow on the Reference pages, and in the problematic paragraph format add an extra tab character in front of the <$pagenum> building block.Then...
If the TOC entry only covers one line, the extra tab character will be ignored.
If the TOC entry covers two or more lines, the extra tab character will be used to fill up the previous stop so the page number settles at its intended tab stop.
If you have TOC specifications that rely on more than two tab positions, just add more tab characters in front of the <$pagenum> building block (and regenerate) until the page number (in multi-line entries) lands at the correct tab stop.
Thank goodness FM uses absolute tabs and not relative ones.

Hack for page number cross-references?

Anyone have hack for dealing with the lack of page number
cross-references in the printed documentation?
kfc

Sorry for the slow reply, I needed to check with someone
about a macro they had but it is not one that will do what you
want.
Is page numbering a requirement or do you would you be happy
with working links? If working links would be sufficient, there is
a macro on my site under Print Issues but it relies on the string
for the link being exactly the same as the string for the target.

When printing from firefox, the page address prints in an illegible font. Same font also appears in certain field windows in the browser.

Why would the fonts in the page address print in an illegible font? It's a black background bar with a white jumbled cartoon-style font. The same font is present in certain field windows when filling out forms. I checked the fonts in preferences and it all seems to be correct and normal. Could this be a Mac issue?

There is a known bug involving printing in beta 12 that has been fixed in the Firefox 4 release candidate which is due out soon.

Using Values Greater than 255 for the LINE-SIZE of a List
If you define a fixed column width greater than 255 using the LINE-SIZE addition in the REPORT or NEW-PAGEstatement, the following notes apply:
Type definitions: The type group SLIST defines the valid maximum value for the list width (SLIST_MAX_LINESIZE), and contains a type for list lines with maximum width (SLIST_MAX_LISTLINE).
Accessing the entire contents of a line: To read or modify the entire contents of a wide line, you can use the ... LINE VALUE addition in the READ LINE or MODIFY LINE statements. This is an alternative to using SY-LISEL that is independent of the attributes of the system field (since the length of SY-LISEL is 255 characters).
Horizontal lines: With extra-wide lists, the "ULINE." statement corresponds to "WRITE / SY-ULINE.". So, for example, "ULINE AT 5(300)." corresponds to "WRITE AT 5(300) SY-ULINE.".
Output length: You can use the length specification in WRITE (or ULINE) to extend the output length of an extra-wide list up to the value of LINE-SIZE. If you want to output a whole field that is longer than 255 characters, you must use this, even if the field itself is defined as longer than 255 characters.
Example
NEW-PAGE LINE-SIZE 1000.
DATA: F1(500) VALUE 'F1'.
WRITE: /      F1 COLOR COL_NORMAL. " Output with length 255
WRITE: /(500) F1 COLOR COL_NORMAL. " Output with length 500

Hi Dominic,
Thank you for the link. The problem that I have is when the job specification last page prints on the front of the page, and the next job specification prints on the back of that page. There is no way I can control what page it is going to print on. This is depending on how much description the user puts in. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
I do have another issue too, and you maybe able to help me with this. Below is a list of form fields on my template. When the job specification is printed on more than one page, I could not get the fk_job_title to print on the continuous pages. Is there a way I can code this fk_job_title to print on all of it's continuos page? I have tried many different ways but could not get it to print. I also posted this in the forum, but didn't get any respond.

Hiding Image field based on the page number in Adobe Form- Script

Hi Folks,
I have a problem with the print form that I am working on. I need to insert an image of lines (OMR) based on the page numbers. For the OMR part, the first page will always have 4 lines as a image, the middle pages will have 3 lines as a image and the last page will have two lines as a image.
I have uploaded these 3 images a BMPs in SE78 and I am using Xstring of these images in the form. I have two master pages. First master page is for the first page and the second master page is for the remaining pages. The first master page will always have the 4 line image. I created a positioned subform in the master page2, in that subform, I have 2 hidden numeric fields, as the run time properties one for the current page number, other one for the total number of pages. I placed those two images(one for the three line image and the other one for the two line image) exactly on the same location positioned dimensions wise.
I have written the java script for these two image fields to show based on the page numbering. But, somehow, it is not working. Can anybody please let me know where I am doing wrong. I am posting my java script here.
for the three line image:
var cp = data.PageSet.MasterPage2.OMR.cpage.rawValue;
var np = data.PageSet.MasterPage2.OMR.npages.rawValue;
//if(data.#pageSet[0].MasterPage2.OMR.cpage.rawvalue == data.#pageSet[0].MasterPage2.OMR.npages.rawvalue){
for (j=0; j<xfa.layout.pageCount(); j++){
if(cp == np){
    xfa.resolveNode("data.PageSet.MasterPage2[" + j + "]").OMR.OMR2.presence = "hidden";
else{
    xfa.resolveNode("data.pageSet.MasterPage2[" + j + "]").OMR.OMR2.presence = "visible";
For the two line image:
var cp = data.PageSet.MasterPage2.OMR.cpage.rawValue;
var np = data.PageSet.MasterPage2.OMR.npages.rawValue;
for (j=0; j<xfa.layout.pageCount(); j++){
if(cp == np){
    xfa.resolveNode("data.PageSet.MasterPage2[" + j + "]").OMR.OMR3.presence = "hidden";
else{
    xfa.resolveNode("data.pageSet.MasterPage2[" + j + "]").OMR.OMR3.presence = "visible";
Please give me a direction as this is kind of hurry.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

HI Otto,
Thanks for the response. You are right, I am struck with this image. My problem was to keep the OMR marking on each page based on the page number. It is like a lines with 10mmX10mm dimension at the top right corner for the sorter machine to know the number of pages to put in the envelope. The logic for this is, on the first page, it has 4 lines each 3mm apart. On the middle pages it has 3 lines . On the last page it has 2 lines. When the sorter machine picks these, it looks at the first page with 4 lines, it will count as a first page, it will continue through the 3 line pages as the middle pages until it reaches the 2 line to know it as the last page. This is all happens in the master pages. I have two master pages , one for the first page and the second one for the remaining pages.
At first I did not know how to To achieve this, I created 3 images. one with 4 lines, another ones with 3 lines and 2 lines. The 4 lines image was on the first master page. The 3 lines and 2 lines images were on the second master page at the same place as the image fields positioned. Thats where I was trying this scripting. I was trying to capture the current page and number of pages. Based on these, I was trying to place them.
Is there any other way to achieve this instead of using the images? I thought of sy-uline. but some in the forum told that its not going to work. Even if I use the sy-uline, I have to do some script to achieve this I believe.
Any inputs on this.. Please give the direction.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Which variable gives the Total Page Number in a report

Which variable of Report can give me the total number of Pages. I want this information on first page itself. I want to refer this value in pl/sql thus i want to access the value programatically, and not just show in report as Page 1 of 10.
Thanks,
Sudhanshu

This may help you! This is straight from the Help in Reports! More about this can be found by searching for Physical PAges in Reports Help!
Suppose that you want to have the page number at the top of each page of your report. Furthermore, you want the page number to be of the form "Page n of m pages":
1 Create a field named F_PAGE and set the Source property to &Physical Page Number.
2 In the Field Property Palette, set the Page Numbering property by filling out the Page Numbering dialog box as follows:
-Check Main Section and uncheck Header Section and Trailer Section because you only want to number the Main Section pages.
-Type 1 in the Start At setting.
-Type 1 in the Increment By setting.
-Type &Report under Reset At because you don't want the page numbers to reset to zero until the report is done.
3 Create a field called F_TOTPGE and set the Source property to &Total Number of Physical Pages.
4 Do either of the following:
-Hide these fields (i.e., set the Visible property to No) and reference them within boilerplate text:
Page &F_PAGE of &F_TOTPGE
-Alternatively, position F_PAGE and F_TOTPGE beside each other. Insert boilerplate to the left of F_PAGE that contains the text "Page". Insert boilerplate between F_PAGE and F_TOTPGE that contains the text "of".
null

Which page number is a certain field printed on?
