Full Version: Anyone know how to do custom page numbering
Digital Print Forums > Variable Data Printing > FusionPro

I have a job that needs to have a variable page number placed on the piece and the number of pages is not fixed so I need FusionPro to do the page numbering.

There is a fixed variable called $pagenum but it starts with the physical page and doesn't seem to be modifiable or used to set another variable.

Also, I can't seem to figure out how to increase a variable based on moving to another page, only based on record, so I'm worried there isn't a way to do manual page numbering?

Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I use a script for numbering. I use it mostly for numbering raffle tickets.

Instead of using a data source, write a new rule.

My script for the rule numbering(whichI have to make) is this:

Numbering = "" + CurrentRecordNumber();

while (Numbering.length < 4)
{
Numbering = "0" + Numbering;
}
return Numbering

You can change certain aspects of it to print diferent number sequences. Hope this helps.
