Can I create multipe line/row header or footer?

#26309

I am trying to create a 2-line footer, and was just wondering if it’s possible, and if anyone had done it?
Thanks!

example:
footer1

footer2

I guess you mean non-HTML, non-inline headers.

In the case you may define title- or page-number-template with “n” as line break character (in some contexts you would probably need to add an extra backslash: “\n”).

And do not forget to allocate a sufficient space for the multiline header with areaHeight property.

it’s java.
footer.setAreaHeight( 15 );
footer.setFont(new java.awt.Font(“Arial”, java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 7));
footer.setColor( java.awt.Color.black );
footer.setPagesToSkip( 0 );
footer.setTitleTemplate( Title );
footer.setPageNumberTemplate( “277GG11-06” );
footer.setTitleAlignment( org.zefer.pd4ml.PD4PageMark.LEFT_ALIGN );
footer.setPageNumberAlignment(org.zefer.pd4ml.PD4PageMark.RIGHT_ALIGN);
pd4ml.setPageFooter( footer );
There is a footer called Title, and I need to add another footer above it.
Thanks!

There is no way to define more than one footer with pd4ml.setPageFooter()

I would workaround that way:

…
footer.setAreaHeight( 30 );
footer.setTitleTemplate( “upper footer textn” + Title );
footer.setPageNumberTemplate( “n277GG11-06″ );
…

Also PD4ML Pro allows you to define an inline footer, which will co-exist with your current footer.

Is this still intended to work? The code below does not result in newlines being entered into the footer.

Sorry, I forgot to submit the code:

PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark();<br /> footer.setAreaHeight(100);<br /> footer.setTitleTemplate( "upper footer textn" + "TEST" );<br /> footer.setPageNumberTemplate( "n277GG11-06" );<br /> pd4ml.setPageFooter(footer);

The rendered PDF displays a single line: “upper footer text TEST”

Using the pro version.

The best way would be to define header/footer in HTML, i.e.:

[language=java:g3o09eri]header.setHtmlTemplate(“page $[page] of $[total]
second line”);[/language:g3o09eri]

However in text-only headers/footers ‘n’ character should break a line.
