Display Master Page Footer only on Last Page

Hi All, 
 
I'm new to BIRT and I need to find a way to display the Master Page footer only on the Last page. I'm actually using XML file as Data source and displaying the data in the pdf format. I came across one similar thread with the topic title as "Show footer only last Page PDF problem" by Rachata. I have copy-pasted the below script to achieve the result but could not succeed. All I did was to select the footer and go to script tab, and in the Script drop down I have selected onRender and pasted the script and saved the report. 
 
if (BirtComp.lessThan(pageNumber, totalPage)) 
{ 
this.getStyle().display = "NONE"; 
} 
 
Could you guys please help me out in getting the solution. Thank you for your time. 
 
Regards, 
EVS.

This report shows the label in the masterpage footer only on the last page if you run it in the web viewer and export to PDF from there so that the run and render tasks are used separately. Hope this helps.

In the masterpage, I put the label with "last page only" as the text. In the onRender script, I put:

if (pageNumber < totalPage){
this.getStyle().display = "none";
}

The needing to run it with the web viewer and then exporting to PDF is so that the onRender happens separately from the onCreate. This is what makes the totalPage value correct. Like on the other issue in your other post, you'll need to make sure that you have a page break interval set that ensures that the page break events will call or I don't think this works correctly in 2.3.2.
