[iText-questions] Page numbering problem
Hi All, Here is my problem: I have a long PDF that I am generating that consists of many 1 page (normally) reports that consists of a single table. On most of these pages, I dont need page numbers to be displayed. Unfortunately, some of these reports span multiple pages if the table goes to long. In these cases (and these cases only), I want to display a page number in a header table that Im already displaying at the top of each page in the report. I want the page number to have the format Page X of Y. Each page of the report has header information that gets displayed by the onStartPage event that gets fired by iText. My initial attempt at solving this was to estimate whether or not my report will span multiple pages, and how many pages it will be, and then display the page number if it is greater than 1 in the header. Unfortunately, due to my font type, it is almost impossible for me to estimate the number of pages due to line feeds occurring in the table on some occasions. What Im hoping to do is when onStartPage gets fired in the middle of my report (ie. If the report has spanned multiple pages), then go back to the previous page and enter the page number at the top of the page. Is it possible in iText to return to the previous page after onStartPage gets called? Can anyone think of any other better way of predicting or detecting the number of pages in the report?

Re: [iText-questions] Page numbering problem
I had a similar problem where I wanted to do some special handling of the end of a page only when I was rendering a table. I handled it by making a class derived from PdfPageEvent that has a boolean member, inTable. I always set the inTable flag before attaching a table and clear it afterwards. In the onEndPage method of the event handler, I check the flag and do some special work (drawing borders) if it is set. The technique for handling Page X of Y is documented in the examples (see Chap1004.java). Good luck. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business? Tell us what you think of them.

Thank you so much Steve! My current code is extremely close to this, and the onEndPage event is going to save my butt!
