[CLOSED] Page numbering in pdf problem

March 04, 2010, 09:24 AM

Hi,

I have a report that is 4 pages wide. When I add page numbering the numbering only goes down not across so increments every 4 pages but I need to see page numbers on all pages for print outs. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Well, as far as I understand, from a WebFOCUS point of view your report has only 1 page which, due to being too wide to fit within the limits of the paper, has now been paneled across 4 sheets of paper. You will notice that your HEADING/SUBHEAD/SUBFOOT/FOOTING is spread across that "one" page.

Regrettably I don't know if it's possible to change that.

What version are you using? This may be remedied in 7.6.11 or 8... Don't quote me on that. But, I know some PDF issues are remedied in those newer releases...

Support for Repeated Headings and Footings on Panels in PDF Report Output

How to:

* Repeat Heading Elements on Panels

When the columns presented on PDF reports cannot be displayed on a single page, the pages automatically panel. Paneling places subsequent columns for the same page on overflow pages. These overflow pages are generated until the entire width of the report is presented, after which the next vertical page is generated with a new page number and its associated horizontal panels.

In order to make panels following the initial panel more readable, you can designate that heading elements from the initial panel should be repeated on each subsequent panel using the HEADPANEL=ON StyleSheet attribute.

When paneling occurs, if default page numbering is used, the page number presented will include both the page number and the panel number (for example, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3). Turning HEADPANEL on will also cause the panel designation to be included in TABPAGENO.

HEADPANEL can be designated for the entire report, causing all headings and footings to be replicated on the panelled pages. It can also be turned on for just individual headings, footings, subheadings, or subfootings.

HEADPANEL causes borders from the initial page to be replicated on the panelled pages. Additional control of subheading and subfooting borders can be gained through the use of ALIGN-BORDERS which allows for the designation that subitem borders should align with the body of the data rather than the page or report headings. For more information about using ALIGN-BORDERS with HEADPANEL see Aligning Subheading and Subfooting Margins With the Report Body.
