How to handle Pagination for merged PDF files?

[mustafa_74199]

Hi,

I have 3 PDF documents which are generated with Adobe Forms.

I can merge them using CL_RSPO_PDF_MERGE:

But i can't handle the pagination. Do you have an idea?

Let me explain.

1st PDF has 3 pages.

2nd PDF has 2 pages.

3rd PDF has 4 pages.

Page numbers should start like 'Page 1 of 9'.

And end like 'Page 9 of 9' at the last page.

Best Regards

Mustafa

can you provide more informations how you use the methode "set_pagination".

Cause

lr_pdf_merge->set_pagination(
  page_number = 'your page number'
....
)

works for me.

Hi Dominik,

I can't see the method 'set_pagination' in the class. Here are the methods. (Maybe i missed an update.)

Step_1: I found a workaround by myself. I open the job, generate the 3 PDFs first, get the page numbers of documents seperately, then close the job.

Step_2: I open the job again and this time i generate the PDFs again. There are 2 fields in the interfaces of the documents. First one is the number of pages in above documents. Second one is the number of total page numbers. And inside Adobe Form, i wrote a custom logic for the calculation on 'Page n of m'. So, pagination of second document starts with the number 'page number of first document + 1' and total page is taken from the relevant field of interface. Similarly pagination of third document starts with the number 'page number of first document + page number of second document + 1' and total page is taken from the relevant field of interface.

It works fine.

Regards
