PDF page numbering using ReportEngine

javadev21

Hi All,

When using the ReportEngine to render a PDF report, the page numbering only increments after each group and not when the data for a particular group spans into another page. I tested this using the Sample database. I grouped the Customer table by country and whenever a group spans multiple pages, the page numbering does not increment. I used the "Page n of m" autotext and set the Page Break After to "Always" for the group. Please see the attached PDF report. One example on this report is for France where both page 7 and page 8 say "Page 7 / 32". Am I missing an option that needs to be set to also increment the page number when a group spans multiple pages? I am using version 2.6.0.

Thanks in advance.

I downloaded the 2.5.2 Engine and was able to get the correct page numbering when using this version. The issue I was facing might have been due to the fact the I was using Eclipse BIRT Designer 2.5.2 to design the report and the 2.6.0 Engine to generate the report. However, I can't be certain that was the issue. With the 2.5.2 Engine, I'm no longer seeing this behavior and I've attached the same sample report as before with the page numbering now correct.
