[reportlab-users] number of pages

[Michael Schulz]

Hi,

thanks for your replies. Yeah i think i found the old threat about the 
"x of y pages" but haven't used forms yet and also realized that this 
seems only to work with BaseDocTemplate not with SimpleDocTemplate. So I 
would have to switch to BaseDocTemplate?

That's what i tried now:
Create a new derived SimpleDocTemplate and override the _endBuild method 
(is that possible here?). Add the proposed code snipplet (3) and add the 
doForm command to the onFirstPage method of the derived SimpleDocTemplate.

But i get an error:

KeyError: "forward reference to 'FormXob.pageCount' not resolved upon 
final formatting"

which following the source code is raised when the form is not defined 
upon saving, so i assume the overriding of endBuild hasn't worked. Hmpf!

Cheers, Michael
