Page numbers in export to PDF

[JMalton]

I use a background sheet with my drawings, which prints and fills a title block, global data, sheet frame, revision info, date, page number, etc on each sheet. That sheet is then locked as Background (which doesn't seem to make much difference, as it gets exported anyway), and assigned as the background sheet to every other sheet.

On the background sheet, there are two fields (in my title block section), with Placeholders enabled, and containing the text

• %date{yyyy-mm-dd}%
• %pagenumber% of %pagecount%

The %date% works fine.

The %pagecount% is wrong, of course, because the locked Background page is unfortunately included in the page count

The %pagenumber% works fine in the app, but it DOESN'T WORK ON PDF EXPORT. Rather, on export, each sheet's title block gets the page number of the sheet that was currently in focus when the Export function was invoked.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Hi,

I got exactly the same behavior for %pagenumber%. Workaround for me : printing in pdf !
