Merged PDFs and Page Numbers

rbuser

I've just started looking into this merging of PDFs
and it's pretty cool. I thought we will have to use
3rd party executables to accomplish this.

One thing though is page numbering. Individually,
each PDF has a Page number.

for example :
Pdf1 = 3 pages
Pdf2 = 2 pages
Pdf3 = 5 pages

When merged of course the page numbers
will be out of whack. e.g. page 4 of the merged
pdf shows page 1(the beginning of Pdf2)


Is there any way for the PDF device to renumber them ?


Thanks !

Hi Peter,

The PDF device has no knowledge of pagination during generation, this is
a function of the report itself.

Perhaps rather than using a TppSystemVariable for page number inside the
report, you could use a TppLabel instead, and update its value in the
OnStartPage event. You could then alter its starting point based on
where the last report being merged left off.
