Commingling - resequence the page numbering in combined report.

OL Connect Professional Workflow
1

Hi all,

first ever question - be gentle with me :wink:

I’m using commingling to create a large report from several small reports. The small reports have a ‘Page x of y’ legend at the bottom and I’d like this to reflect the number of pages in the combined report.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Hello H,

Unfortunately at the moment this is not possible - there is no global page count available in Connect.

There may be a way around it. Do not add the page counts on the reports themselves, just leave space for it. Then create and Output Preset with Additional Content. Then add Additional Text in the desired formatting and following Text:

Page ${page.sequence.job} of ${job.count.pages}

Thanks Evie. I notice that there’s technique for me to to try in a subsequent post to yours - does that look viable?

I honestly wouldn’t know, those variables are unknown to me so they might be completely new? All I know is, they’re not documented!

Hi,

I’ve got this working aside from one aspect - the font selection is ignored as is bolding. The point size changes as requested. Any ideas?

I’ve tried using Calibri and Verdana which are the closest to what I need on the PDF.

The 8.5.0.10948 update of the PlanetPress Connect Workflow product fixed my issue with styling :slight_smile:

Hi - I have found this post very helpful. I have been able to add page numbers to my merged .pdf’s. However, I am having trouble though getting it to skip the first page and last page as I do not want page numbers on them. Can anyone help with the coding that I would need to use for this.

Thanks !!
