I am trying to use the replacable symbols for section page number ($Sp) and section page count ($SP). However, the $Sp symbol always evaluates to zero. The page count symbol appears to work correctly.

http://www.aspose.com/Wiki/default.aspx/Aspose.Pdf/SymbolsListAndPurpose.html

This is using Aspose.PDF 3.5.6.

Thanks!

I can't reproduce this error. Can you please provide the code?

A program to demonstrate the error follows (and is attached as well). What am I doing wrong here?



using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Aspose.Pdf;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Pdf test = new Pdf();
           
            Section sec = new Section(test);

            HeaderFooter header = new HeaderFooter(sec);
            sec.EvenHeader = header;
            sec.OddHeader = header;

            header.Margin.Top = 120;

            Text pageIfo = new Text(header,"SectionPage $Sp/$SP\nPage $p/$P");
           
            header.Paragraphs.Add(pageIfo);

            for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
            {
                Text pageBreak = new Text("");
                pageBreak.IsFirstParagraph = true;
                sec.Paragraphs.Add(pageBreak);

                Text pageStuff = new Text("hi there");
                sec.Paragraphs.Add(pageStuff);
            }

            test.Sections.Add(sec);

            test.Save(@"C:\Documents and Settings\Will\My Documents\test.pdf");
        }
    }
}

I have reproduced this error and logged this issue as PDFNET-3511. We will try to fix it soon.

Thanks Tommy!

In the mean time, is there any workaround for this?

Currently you can't make both $p and $Sp work well. If you want to display page number in section only, as a workaround, you can use $p and set the Section.IsPageNumberRestarted and Section.StartingPageNumber.

I've tested, and can confirm this works on my production code.

Thanks!
