Does anyone out there know where the manual or description of the PDF layout language is.

I have found docs on the PDF layout painter but cannot find them on the language itself.

Hope someone can help so I can find out what this means.

Good Question. I created the following which allowed you to do Page # of Pages..in a PDF compound report. But I can't figure out how to incorporate it into one I have manually coded.

PAGELAYOUT=ALL, NAME='Page Master', $
OBJECT=STRING, NAME='text1', TEXT='Page ibi-page-number/ of ibi-total-pages/', POSITION=(6.563 0.625), MARKUP=ON, WRAP=ON, DIMENSION=(1.354 0.625), font='ARIAL', color=RGB(0 0 0), size=10, $

I love it - searching Tech Support provided this:

There were no results for PAGELAYOUT.
Here are the results for page layout.

Can anyone say "undocumented features"?

Hi Paulo

The confusing thing is that there is a simple COMPOUND document syntax with stylesheets (the ref you gave me) and then there is a PDF layout language that allows you to link items .pdf, text and image files.

There does not seem to be docs on this.

How does your code get a real number?

I can build a report with amper values.
the pagenumbers still do not work.

Maybe this is the first example of code generated by the GUI that we're not supposed to know about...
