initialPageNumber

#28400

There is a way to define initial page number within HTML?

Something similar to:

<pd4ml:page.footer initialPageNumber="3">
<div class='footerPDF'>
page $[page] of $[total]
</div>
</pd4ml:page.footer>

I know that there is a way to pass it from JAVA API:

PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark();
footer.setInitialPageNumber(0);
footer.setHtmlTemplate("<div class='footerPDF'>page $[page] of $[total]</div>");

Which doesn’t completely satisfy our needs.

With your particular footer sample there is a possibility to get a confusing footer text “page 3 of 1”. So some mechanism to impact $[total] value is also needed. That was a reason we did not copy the feature from PD4PageMark to inline HTML headers/footers.

We could add the feature to <pd4ml:page.footer>, but first we need to review typical use cases and to think how to keep everything consistent there. Of course, we would appreciate your input.
