How to override Page Autotext's initial value [message #900255] Mon, 06 August 2012 04:21 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello,

I just wanted to ask if there is a way on how to override the initial value of Page autotext (currently 1) to let's say 10. The reason behind this is I sliced up my report with 10 pages each (10 .rptdesign files with 10 pages each) and concatenated them with itext library. (please note that I have placed a static text on the Max page part) The problem with that is the page numbering that I have in page footer displays 1/100...10/100...1/100 (because of concatenated report)... 10/100... 1/100 and so on... My idea was to assign a default value on the Page Autotext on each of the rptdesign files so that it won't get reset on each report.

any help would be appreciated.

Jomar,

If you are using the viewer or using separate run and render task with
the API you can do this with a simple page variable and script:
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/project/notable2.5.php#jump_4

Attached is an example that uses a page variable on the master page that
starts at 10. Look at the onPageEnd script and look at the master page
header.

Hello, We want to present a report in which the page number is suppose to be group specific. I mean, Page n of m where n is the page number of page in a group and m is the total number of page of that group. We are using BIRT 2.5.1 and all our reports are all generated in PDF.
Has anyone solved this ? Please guide.
Thank you for your help.

Take a look at this example from the BIRT Exchange devShare:
