Hi,

I am using Composer for designing one PDF report. I want to display one text message in all the page other than last page. Currently i am displaying that text in Master page.

Can any one know how to do these kind of conditions in Compound PDF?

Please share the existing functionality using CAR sample.

Hello Surenther,

This is possible using the WHEN command and TABPAGENO, a variable which keeps track of what page the PDF is on.
Take a look at this SPS, which explains how to control subheaders and subfooters conditionally:

How to display a subhead on first page, subfoot on last page

You should be able to modify this code to fit your needs.

Please let me know if you need additional assistance.

Hi Emily,

Thanks for your help. But TABPAGENO is working for normal PDF not for compound PDF.

Here is the structure of my compound PDF. I want to change the Page Header information only for the last page (ie Disclaimer)

 SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON
COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
UNITS=IN, $
SECTION=section1, LAYOUT=ON, METADATA='prop_with_names^Margins_Left=0.2^Margins_Top=0.2^Margins_Right=0.2^Margins_Bottom=0.2^thumbnailscale=4', MERGE=ON, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, PAGESIZE=Letter, SHOW_GLOBALFILTER=OFF, $
PAGELAYOUT=ALL, NAME='Page Master', $
OBJECT=STRING, NAME='text0_4', TEXT='Page  <ibi-page-number/> of  <ibi-total-pages/>', POSITION=(9.75 8.35), WRAP=OFF, DIMENSION=(5.417 0.250), FONT='AVENIR35', COLOR=RGB(0 0 0),  SIZE=8,STYLE=NORMAL, $
COMPONENT='report1', TEXT='report1', TOC-LEVEL=2, POSITION=(0.2 0.142), DIMENSION=(* *), METADATA='HEIGHT: 0.687in; WIDTH: 10.593in; POSITION: absolute; LEFT: 0.208in; Z-INDEX: 100; TOP: 0.042in', $

PAGELAYOUT=2, NAME='Page layout 2', text='Page layout 2', TOC-LEVEL=1, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.25, TOPMARGIN=1, METADATA='BOTTOMMARGIN=0.5,TOPMARGIN=0,LEFTMARGIN=0,RIGHTMARGIN=0,', $

END

SET COMPONENT='report1'
-INCLUDE Page_header_Master.fex

SET COMPONENT='report2'
-INCLUDE Summary_report.fex

SET COMPONENT='report3'
-INCLUDE Detail_Report.fex

SET COMPONENT='report4'
-INCLUDE Disclaimer.fex

COMPOUND END 

Please note, i am already using ibi-page-number and ibi-total-pages for displaying page number. is there anyway to get these as a variable or Field?
