*****PAGE NUMBER WHILE EXPORTING TO PDF - SAP BO*****

[rohitsapbi]

HI Team, My ask is 

There is a BO report with 6 tabs (Summary, TAB_1, TAB_2, TAB_3, TAB_4, TAB_5). ALL THE TAB HAVE PAGE NUMBER FUNCTION ADDED IN FOOTER. WHEN I EXPORT THE FULL REPORT IN PDF I HAVE THE PAGE NUMBER FROM 1 TO 6. 

BUT IF I WANT TO DOWNLOAD SUMMARY + TAB_2+ TAB_4, WHILE EXPORTING TO PDF I WANT THE PAGE NUMBER TO SHOW AS 1,2,3. BUT I AM NOT GETTING IN THAT WAY IT GIVES SOMETHING LIKE 1,1,1 OR 1,2,4.

PLEASE HELP ME SO THAT I CAN FIX THIS ISSUE.

Hi rohitsapbi
This behaviour is "by design" in BI 4.3 and previous versions.

1. What I did is name the reports as "Chaper 1", "Chapter 2" ... and in the footer cell use the functions ReportName() and Page().
For better vizualization of chapters in th PDF, you can also add spaces in report names to have bookmarks indentation.

2. Else, you can use a post-treatment software of pdf files to replace text inside the generated file.
For example, replace "###PageNumber###" with the real value.

Hope this helps.
