- see footer for list info -<
Nice idea but sadly it doesn't work. It's as if CF treats totalpagecount as
a string - perhaps the PDF engine uses *{totalpagecount}* as an internal
variable. :-(

How about this
<cfset pagecount = 0>
<cfdocument blah...>
<cfdocumentItem type="footer">
<cfsavecontent variable="x">#cfdocument.totalpagecount#</cfsavecontent>
<cfset pagecount = pagecount + x>
</cfdocumentitem>
</cfdocument>

Subject: [CF-Dev] Using cfdocument.totalpagecount as a variable
>- see footer for list info -<
I desperately need my code to be aware of how many PDF pages have been
generated after a cfdocument tag. According to the CF docs
cfdocument.totalpagecount is only available to output within
cfdocumentItem
tags. e.g. to display "page 1 of 5" in footers within the PDF.
I've tried to force totalpagecount into a local or request variable so I
can
perform some logic on it. e.g. if there is more than 1 page then do XYZ.
It's crazy that this information isn't made available to developers to use
in their code. Does anyone have some sneaky ideas on how to capture it?
I've tried this:
<cfdocument blah...>
<cfdocumentItem type="footer">
<cfset request.totalpagecount="#cfdocument.totalpagecount#">
</cfdocumentitem>
</cfdocument>
Which does not work. Dumping request.totalpagecount literally displays *
{totalpagecount}*
Gary.
