Add page number to pdf SOLVED

[kyo]

Dear All,
I have a requirement that I need to add page number to the header or footer.
I have already searched in the forum and the online help ,but only find the operation id "op.document.pageNumbering" which seems to be what I need.

Below is my sample code using operation id "op.document.pageNumbering",which runs well but does not have any impact on the pdf file at all.

Code: Select all

   private void AddPageNumbering(PDFXEdit.IPXV_Document Doc, PDFXEdit.PXV_Inst Inst)
        {
            int nID = Inst.Str2ID("op.document.pageNumbering", false);
            PDFXEdit.IOperation op = Inst.CreateOp(nID);

            PDFXEdit.ICabNode input = op.Params.Root["Input"];
            input.v = Doc.CoreDoc;
            PDFXEdit.ICabNode options = op.Params.Root["Options"];
            options["ForceLoadFromOptions"].v = true;
            PDFXEdit.ICabNode PDFRangeItems = options["PDFRangeItems"];
            PDFXEdit.ICabNode item = PDFRangeItems.Add();
            item["StartPage"].v = 1;
            item["Style"].v = 1;//decimal
            item["StartNum"].v = 2;

            op.Do();


        }

Is there something wrong with this method? or this method can not implement my requirement at all ,and i should use other methods.

I hope you can help me.I would like to emphasize once more that I need to add the page number to the header(leftheader/centerheader/rightheader) or the footer(leftfooter/centerfooter/rightfooter)

Any help would be appreciated.
Look forward to your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Now, I find an interface IPXC_HeaderAndFooterParams which is likely to implement my requirment.

If yes,can you give me some sample code about how to set the page number format .

I have read the sample code you suggest.The sample code only demonstrate how to add static text for footer/header that is not what I want.I want to add page number ,which vary every page to pdf.

Can you give me some sample code that demonstrate how to add page number to pdf including setting the page number format,start page ,end page etc?

You mean you want to add the page label? Have you tried using the Document\Number Pages... feature in the end-user Editor - is this what you want?

Hello,
Yes,what I want is something like the Bates number.And the page number is different from bates number.
I want the page number always starting with 1,but the bates number may not.

Do you get my requirement?
For example,I want to add page number to every page at the header/footer as a label with the format( e.g. 1 of 10) .

Can I do this by setting some property of IPXC_HeaderAndFooterParams?

Before I ask for help here,I have ever used the the funciton Document\Number Pages that is not what I want.Because ,actually it does not add the page number to the phisical pdf file, and it just add them to the navigation of thumbnail as a logcal page number.

Hello kyo,

Well you can set the text of the headers or footers as <<1 of n>> (as the End-User Editor does) and then this macro will be interpreted as the page numeration.

Hello,
I have done what you told me,but I encounter some issues.And I have uploaded some screenshots to demonstrate the issues.
Here is my sample code:

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IPXC_Document doc = pdfCtl.Doc.CoreDoc;
            PDFXEdit.IPXC_Inst Inst = (PDFXEdit.IPXC_Inst)pdfCtl.Inst.GetExtension("PXC");

            PDFXEdit.IAUX_Inst aInst = (PDFXEdit.IAUX_Inst)Inst.GetExtension("AUX");
            PDFXEdit.IBitSet bs = aInst.CreateBitSet(doc.Pages.Count);

            PDFXEdit.IPXC_HeaderAndFooterParams wp = Inst.CreateHeaderAndFooterParams();
            bs.Set(0, 4);

            wp.FontSize = 32;

            wp.LeftHeaderText = "<<1 of n>>";
            wp.RightHeaderText = "";
            wp.CenterHeaderText = "";

            wp.LeftFooterText = "";
            wp.RightFooterText = "";
            wp.CenterFooterText = "";

            wp.FillColor = aInst.CreateColor(PDFXEdit.ColorType.ColorType_RGB);
            wp.FillColor.SetRGB(0, 0, 0);

            wp.BottomMargin = 50;
            wp.LeftMargin = 5;
            wp.RightMargin = 5;
            wp.TopMargin = 5;

            doc.PlaceHeadersAndFooters(bs, wp);

The issue is that I set the text of Header/Footer to "<<1 of n>>" as the End-User Editor does,but the text "<<1 of n>>" is not interperted as page numeration at all.In contrast,this work fine with End-User Editor.

Another similar issue,when I set the text of Header/Footer to "<<Bates Number#3#1>>" as the End-User Editor does,although the text "<<Bates Number#3#1>>" is interpreted,every page has the same page numberation(e.g. 001) that is not reasonable.

Is this a bug or something wrong with my sample code? I hope you can try my sample code,and give me your result.
I look forward to your quick reply.
Thanks in advance.
