  1. Ok, rephrasing a previous question because I wasn't getting a response. We will be outputting individual PDFs from numerous records in one file. Each PDF will have a varying amount of pages (Anywhere from 1-10). There is a main body page and an overflow page to capture overflow text from that main body. This is what will generate additional pages. We need a page counter that will put the page's number in the entire batch, not the individual PDF. So record one generates a 2 page PDF (numbered page 1 and page 2). Record 2 generates a 5 page PDF (numbered page 3, page 4, page 5, page 6, and page 7). How can we do this?
  2. Ok, at this point we have most of this figured out. The one piece we're missing is a method for counting consecutive pages in a batch where each record might have a different/varying number of pages. Can anyone help with that? So again, we can easily count the page numbers in a record, but we just need a way to have that page's number count for the entire run.
  3. Hi, We have a project we're working on where we're outputting reminder letters. We have a custom barcode that's needed for our mail inserter to figure out how many pages go in each envelope. We have a daily file with a large number of records, and each record will have a main body page, possibly an additional overflow page, and possibly 1-10 additional inserts. (We actually have 10 pages set up in the document for each of the potential inserts.) The inserter needs a particular format to do it's job so we need to set up the barcode with a sequential numbering system that uses a rule to determine: That page's count in the overall run That page's count in the record. So example of how the barcodes need to be show on each page: TotalRunPageNumber RecordPageNumber Example with 5 records: First Record has Main Body Page and One Insert 00001001 <-- First Record Main Body Page 00002002 <-- First Record Insert Second Record has Main Body Page, Overflow Page, and One Insert 00003001 <-- Main Body Page 00004002 <-- Overflow Page 00005003 <-- Insert 1 Third Record has Main Body Page only 00006001 <-- Main Body Page Fourth Record has Main Body Page, Overflow Page, Insert 1, Insert 2, Insert 3 00007001 <-- Main Body 00008002 <-- Overflow 00009003 <--Insert 00010004 <--Insert 00011005 <--Insert Fifth Record has Main Body Page only 00012001 <-- Main Body Again, first five digits = Page count in run Next three digits = Page count in record So is there a way to create a rule on record end, or job end, that can handle this? Just needs to be able to determine the page's count in the entire run, and then the page count within the record itself, and generate this sequential numbering system throughout the run?
  4. I know there's a way to set text alignment within a cell by using <p br=false quad=R>. Is there a way to have an alignment apply to an entire column in a table though without affecting the other columns? I have a table with 6 columns. 3 of them need to be right aligned and the other 3 need to be left aligned and it seems it would be much easier to apply this to an entire column rather than to all of the individual cells within that column....
