Hi All,

I required to trim the in PDF Layout Painter page master. I am using following string to display in footer in by each report.

 OBJECT=STRING, NAME='text23', TEXT='<font face="ARIAL" size=8>Page  <ibi-page-number/> of  <ibi-total-pages/></font>', POSITION=(5.550 7.975), MARKUP=ON, WRAP=ON, DIMENSION=(1.416 0.208),  METADATA='', $  

The footer display with some space between current page number and the word "of". I think the "ibi-page-number" return 4 digit number, so when it displays single digit its giving three spaces for other digit number.

Since I required bookmark I went for PDF Layout Painter option.

Please help me to remove the unwanted spaces in the footer. I am using WebFOCUS 7.7.03.

Hello,
Break your object into 2 objects as below.

OBJECT=STRING, NAME='footer_page_10', TEXT='<font face="ARIAL" size=8 color=#FFFFFF>Page  <ibi-page-number/></font>',
POSITION=(7.595 21.505), MARKUP=ON, WRAP=ON, DIMENSION=(1.500 0.200),  METADATA='',$
OBJECT=STRING, NAME='footer_page_20', TEXT='<font face="ARIAL" size=8 color=#FFFFFF> of  <ibi-total-pages/></font>',
POSITION=(7.995 21.505), MARKUP=ON, WRAP=ON, DIMENSION=(1.500 0.200),  METADATA='',$

Hope this works.

Hi Ram,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried by giving in two objects, but when the current page number is more than single digit it overlaps with the word "of". I tried by changing the position, but again its static, for single digit we are getting space between current page number and "of". When we are having three digit current page number its coming without any space. The below is code I checked by changing the position

 OBJECT=STRING, NAME='footer_page_10', TEXT='<font face="ARIAL" size=8>Page  <ibi-page-number/></font>', POSITION=(5.595 7.905), MARKUP=ON, WRAP=ON, DIMENSION=(1.500 0.200),  METADATA='',$
OBJECT=STRING, NAME='footer_page_20', TEXT='<font face="ARIAL" size=8> of  <ibi-total-pages/></font>', POSITION=(6.095 7.905), MARKUP=ON, WRAP=ON, DIMENSION=(1.500 0.200),  METADATA='',$  

Please find the below example on GGSALES table used in PDF Layout

I Need also a Solution for this, because I Need in the middle of a longer Text, which can be in different Languages.

So a Simple TRIM of this Number would help.

Read my rant about this in WF 8.0.08: [CASE OPENED] Dev Studio 8.0.08 Document Composer - Page n of nn problem

I opened a case about this in December 2015 (23363532), I don't know if it was ever resolved (current status is "General Research Required").

Meanwhile, the workaround (in WF 8.0.08) is to manually edit the GUI-generated code:

In the line of code that contains the page info

OBJECT=STRING, NAME='text1', TEXT='<font face="TREBUCHET MS" size=10>Page <ibi-page-number/> of <ibi-total-pages/></font>', POSITION=(1.979 3.229), MARKUP=ON, WRAP=ON, DIMENSION=(4.375 1.458),
METADATA='Z-INDEX: 1; POSITION: absolute; WIDTH: 4.375in; FONT-FAMILY: Trebuchet MS; WORD-WRAP: break-word; HEIGHT: 1.458in; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; TOP: 3.229in; LEFT: 1.979in', $

Replace

MARKUP=ON, WRAP=ON

with

MARKUP=ON, WRAP=OFF

Unfortunately, the next time you open the program in the GUI editor the WRAP=OFF is reverted to WRAP=ON.
