Page number of Page Count Peoplecode for BIP Report Merger

Summary

How to get the Total page Count when merging 2 reports?

Content

Hi All,

I have 2 BI Publisher reports that are getting merged in an App Engine into 1 report pdf. I can use the following to get the page number:

      /*** Page Number ***/
      Local PSXP_ENGINE:PageNumber &oPageNumber = create PSXP_ENGINE:PageNumber();
      &oPageNumber.FontName = "Arial";
      &oPageNumber.FontSize = 7;
      &oPageNumber.PositionX = 400;
      &oPageNumber.PositionY = 15;
      &oMerger.PageNumber = &oPageNumber;

However, I need to get the total number of pages between the two reports that are merged in the app engine (Report 1 = 10pgs, Report 2 = 1 pg, Total = 11pgs)

Does anyone know of a function or method I can use to do this? An Array perhaps??

Thanks for your help.

John

Hi John,

This should work:

Local JavaObject &obj_Merged_PDF_Size = CreateJavaObject("com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader", "Merged_PDF.pdf");
Local number &NumberofPages = &obj_Merged_PDF_Size.getNumberOfPages();

You can see more details and code here:

If your report is not a pdf you will need to use a different Java class.

Regards,

Juan Diego
