[reportlab-users] Page n of m?

[Harald Armin Massa]

Yes, it is possible.

Usually the solution is:

1) add "Page <actual Page> of" to the footer of your Page
canv.drawRightString(10*cm, 0.75*cm, u"Page %s of % (doc.page,))

2) add a PDF-Form to the place right of the "of"
canv.doForm("pageCount")

3) render the PDF
4) after the rendering, fill the Number of Pages into PDF-Form which
gets drawn after the "of"
def _endBuild(self):
        self.canv.beginForm("pageCount")
        self.canv.setFont(fontnormal,7)
        self.canv.drawString(12*cm,0.75*cm u"%s" % (self.canv.getPageNumber(),))
        self.canv.endForm()
        BaseDocTemplate._endBuild(self)


Best wishes,

Harald
