Hello,
i am trying to show a footer with "Page 1 of 12" on a section.

My Problems are:

1. "$p $P" i think is not supported in java version of aspose pdf.
    How to show the lastPageNumber? (Please some example Code)

2. The section content is bigger than one page in the PDF, i got 2 pages in the generated PDF document.
    The footer is only be shown on the first page.
    How to show it on all Pages of the Section? (Please some example Code)

My Code:
...
            HeaderFooter footer = new HeaderFooter(sec1);
           
            Text footText = new Text(sec1, "Text: (Page $p of $P)");       
            footer.getParagraphs().add(footText);
           
            Text after = new Text(sec1, " afterText");
           
            footer.getParagraphsAfter().add(after);
            footer.setIsPageNumber(true);      
            footer.setIsSubsequentPagesOnly(true);
           
            sec1.setOddFooter(footer);
            sec1.setEvenFooter(footer);
...

thanks for help

Hi,

The $p and $P and currently not supported in Java version and we are working on supporting it.

If you remove the footer.setIsSubsequentPagesOnly(true); statement then you will get the footer on every page.

Thanks.

But how to show the last Page Number in the Footer (in the Java Version)?

thanks
vland

Dear Vland,

As I have mentioned before, this feature is not supported yet. We will try to support it in the future version.

Thanks for fast replay.
I need this feature really fast because it is a requirement of my application.

Is there any workaround or antything else to get / set the last page number?
Could you support the "$P" in the Java Version?

thanks
vland

Is there any date where this feature is included in aspose pdf for Java?

thanks
vland

Hello vland,
 
  We can support $p at present. We are testing the function of supporting $P. This function is complicated and we need more time to test. Thank you for your patience.

Hello vland,

We have resolved this problem partly, you can try the hot fix in the attachment. $p, setIsSubsequentPagesOnly() and setIsFirstPageOnly() are now supported in the HeaderFooter class of this hotfix.

You can write your code as follows:

HeaderFooter footer = new HeaderFooter(sec1);          
Text footText = new Text(sec1, "Text: (Page $p of $P) the text you want");       
footer.getParagraphs().add(footText);         
footer.setIsSubsequentPagesOnly(true);
           
sec1.setOddFooter(footer);
sec1.setEvenFooter(footer);

But $P is still not supported in this hotfix. We are working hard on this issue, but this problem is very hard because you can get the total page number of the document only after the document has been finished. We will support $P in the future version of our product, but we cann't estimate when we will provide that feature.

We are sorry to bring you so much trouble. We are very appreciate your patience. Thank you for using our product.
