page numbers

[Bmason1825]

I am trying to put page numbers at the top of the page of a 50-up labels.  I tried the $pagenum and it does not put anything in there.

For imposed sheets, you need to use $impositionsheetnumber (and $impositiontotalsheets).  These are not present in the Variable drop-down, but you can copy them in there and click Insert.

thank you that worked. 

 

How do i get it to start back over at 1 once it starts a new store.  

[Bmason1825]

Also for the total number of pages can you it only do the number of pages for each store.

i.e. a store has 6 pages of labels but when compiling i have to compile all the stores so right now it is using the total pages for all stores

What do you mean by "a new store?"  Is that a new imposed stack?  Or a new output file?  You might be able to do some math in a JavaScript rule based on properties such as FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetNumber, FusionPro.Composition.recordNumberInChunk, etc.

a new imposed stack...each store is its own pdf

[Dan Korn]

So you must be calling either FusionPro.Composition.StartNewStack() or FusionPro.Composition.OpenNewOutputFile() in OnRecordStart.  When you do that, capture the current value of FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetNumber in a global variable, something like:

lastChunkImpoSheetNumber = FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetNumber;

Then you can make another rule, called something like ImpoSheetNumberInChunk, which does this:

return FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetNumber - (lastChunkImpoSheetNumber || 0) + 1;

And use the ImpoSheetNumberInChunk variable in the Text Editor.

This code isn't what i need 

I need to be able to have it do page numbers for each store starting with 1

 

ie. page 1 of 6 

page 1 of 3

 

is there an code you can help me with?

[Dan Korn]

If you try what I suggested, what do you get?

[Bmason1825]

I did do what you suggested

i got page 1 of 1

page 2 of 2

and it didn't start over with one for a new store

I'm not sure what you did in your template.  You probably missed a step.

At any rate, the attached template demonstrates this working.ImpoChunkTemplate.zip

If you can't get it to work in your template, then you'll need to post your files here.
