Hello,
is there a way to change the start of the autotext pagenumber?
In our project we generate the whole Output from many Reports which were merged after the pdf rendering process. We need a pagenumbering for the generated document, so my idea is to use the autotext pagenumber, but give it an offset, where it should start.
Example
Report1 (3 pages)
Report2 (2 pages)
add an autotextfield pagenumber to the footer of Report1 and Report2. Set an offset to Report1 to "1" and and offset to Report2 to "4". So that the output Pagenumbers from the autotext is
Report 1 Page 1 = 1
Report 1 Page 2 = 2
Report 1 Page 3 = 3
Report 2 Page 4 = 4
Report 2 Page 5 = 5
Another way could be, if i could make it myself in the footer of the masterpage. But how I undestand the rendering, the header and footer would only rendered once for all pages of the report. So I couldn't print differenz values in a field per Page in the footer section of the masterpage. Is this correct or is there a hack to deal with this?
I tested it, but the only results i get was this
Report 1 Page 1 = 1
Report 1 Page 2 = 1
Report 1 Page 3 = 1
Report 2 Page 4 = 2
Report 2 Page 5 = 2

If you used separate run and render tasks, you could put a script in the onRender of the autoText element in the masterpage and increment the value by a certain amount. Like this:
this.text = parseInt(this.text) + yourOffset;
