Here’s a rough mockup showing what I’m trying to accomplish. A single PO, but with the first ship-to line table overflowing into page 2, and both the Alabama and Quincy locations only having a single page, but the page numbering is for the whole document.
I can structure my xml whichever way is simplest to make the design the easiest, I don’t want to get hung up on that.
What’s the best/simplest way to make my form do this? (and from that the xml?)
This could be achieved by creating three sections that use the same master page. The page count should be added in an abs box on the master page. By default page numbering counts all pages/sheets for the current document. Creating sections will work nicely when you have fixed number of locations.
When you have an arbitrary number of locations (prob based on an arbitrary number of detail tables) you may want to start with a single section and clone this section for each location. This requires a bit more preparation as this is handled via a Control Script. More information on this is found in the online Help, see: PlanetPress Connect 1.6.1 User Guide
