Page Numbers are not incrementing sequentially.

Bhavani Rikkula

Hello all,

Am working on a requirement in which I have a header to be repeated dynamically I have used <?start:body?> and <?end body?> and able to achieve it but we should use for each section for group that should be repeated

Assuming there is a two level hierarchy in the xml, I want the value for level1 to be repeated across pages, if data in level2 overflows. This can be achieved with the <?for-each@section:LEVEL?> command

<?for-each@section:LEVEL1?><?for-each:LEVEL2?><?name?><?end for-each?><?end for-each?>

Since I used <?for-each@section page numbers are incrementing section wise but not page wise I have also enabled page number format as continue from previous section but no luck.

Please share your inputs.

Thanks,

Bhavani

@Bhavani Rikkula - Go to page footer and copy and paste the below script.

<?fo:page-number?> of <?fo:page-number-citation:xdofo:lastpage-joinseq?>

<fo:page-number>: This is the object, which is used to represent the current page-number.

<?fo:page-number-citation:xdofo:lastpage-joinseq?>: This is the syntax, which is used to represent the total number of pages.

See this helps in achieving your requirement.

Hi Sumanth,

Tried this but issue remains same.

@Bhavani Rikkula - Ensure that the <?page-number?> and <?total-page-count?> fields are placed in the header or footer, which is outside the <?for-each@section?> construct.

The page numbering should continue across sections because the @section attribute will not influence the page numbers placed in the header or footer if it's defined outside.

Hi Suman,

I have placed <?page-number?> and <?total-page-count?> in header but it is not printing anything.
