Page Number 1

[report2000]

I have 5 reports that I wrote.
I have an intorduction page.
One report starts from page 1 to 25
another starts from page 1 to 30.
I am going to put all of them into a PDF format (I am creating a handout)
I would like to be able to start the page from whatever number I like and continue to the end of the report.
For example I would like to start numbering my pages from 6 to 30 for the first report and 31 to 60 for the second report and etc.
Is there a way to manually set the first page number to whatever number I want?

Thank you

You could just create a formula:

pagenumber + 5 //to start the numbering from 6

If the number of pages in each report changes according to how much data it contains, you may prefer to have a more flexible solution. At least one of the 3rd party Report Managers listed at:

can do the following for you:

1. Trigger exporting of the 5 reports (designed without page numbers in your case) to 5 pdf files.
2. Merge the 5 pdf files into a single pdf file.
3. Add page numbers to the resulting pdf file.
4. If desired, add Bookmarks and a Table of Contents for easier online and hardcopy navigation.
