R 4.3.1
Colleagues
I often create multipage PDFs [pdf()] in which the text "Page X" appears in the
margin. These PDFs are created automatically using a massive R script.
One of my clients requested that I change this to:
Page X of XX
where XX is the total number of pages.
I don't know the number of expected pages so I can't think of any clever way to
do this. I suppose that I could create the PDF, find out the number of pages,
then have a second pass in which the R script was fed the number of pages.
However, there is one disadvantage to this -- the original PDF contains a
timestamp on each page -- the new version would have a different timestamp --
so I would prefer to not use this approach.
Has anyone thought of some terribly clever way to solve this problem?
