BIRT 2.6.1 PDF Group Page Number

mzeevalk

We have requirements for a BIRT report to include a page number within a group with the page number resetting upon the group changing. Our reports are generated through BIRT runtime and always generated in PDF format. I haven't found a good way to come up with scripting to track the page number and get it working in PDF. I created scripts to track the page number on the Group row onCreate event and also tried using the onPageBreak event, but never received anything but the page number being set to 1 for all pages. Looking in this forum there appears to be issues with tracking page number when generating PDF reports and I haven't been able to get this working when generating the report as PDF. My questions are:

- Does someone have a workaround so that the page number can be included within the group table and reset upon the group changing when generating the report as PDF?
- If there is not a way to do this at the group level, is there a way the page number can be included on the master page header and reset when the group changes when generating the report as PDF?
- Do newer versions of BIRT support group page number tracking? If so, what version should we upgrade to?

Again, we are running BIRT 2.6.1. Thanks in advance for any helpful guidance.

Does anyone have any experience with handling page numbers at the group level generating the report as PDF?
