PDF Rendition issue with page numbers when using Adlib software. 1

[mikepycroft]

I am using the rendition module and adlib to automatically product pdf renditions of word documents. In the header of the word document is a "page x of y" line. When the word document is converted to pdf it appears as "Page 1 of 1", "page 2 of 2" etc.

I have a work round by using a footer in the Adlib pdf process. Unfortunately this is not finding favour with the management as they would like the word documents to reflect the pdf rendition.

Any thoughts?

Software in use:
MS Word 2007 SP2
Adlib 3.96 (but get the same problem with an evaluation copy of 4.7)
Livelink Renditions 2.0.2
PC's - XP SP3
Server - Windows 2003

Sorry this is not an exact answer but some thing for you to experiment on.I use adlib with a DPI file mode setting so I can do some manipulation.In the dpi file that I use I see this

[Header]
;substitute static data such as "Major Integrity Project" here
TextLeft = [-Customer Document Name-]
TextCenter = 
TextRight = 
FontName = Helvetica-Bold
FontSize = 10
FontColor = 6447714
MarginLeft = 0.25
MarginRight = 0.25
MarginVertical = 0.25
PageNumberingMode = MergedDocument
Pages = All
Layer = Automatic

[Footer]
TextLeft = 
TextCenter = &[Date]
TextRight = &[Page] of &[Pages]
FontName = Helvetica-Bold
FontSize = 10
FontColor = 0
MarginLeft = 0.25
MarginRight = 0.25
MarginVertical = 0.25
PageNumberingMode = MergedDocument
Pages = All
Layer = Automatic

[PageID]
PageID = [-nodeid-]-&[PageIDIncrement]
PageIDStart = 00004321

I am sure this worked correctly because this code is in production and people would have noticed the discrepancy if not.I am sure that if you go to the adlibe forum at thir company's web site you will get probably hints.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Mikey,

There is a registry setting for Adlib Express that corrects the wrong page numbering behaviour.

I don't remember it off the top of my head, but ask Adlib Software or OT to provide the setting. Also I cannot remember if this is documented or not.

You don't need any fancy workarounds or experiments to correct hat.

Shout if you can't find it.

Jack

Yes had the registry fix.

1. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adlib\Adlib Express\1.0.0\Native App Settings\Microsoft Word
2. In the right pane right-click and select New DWORD
3. Name this value PrintInBackground
4. Once the value is added double-click it and change it to 1

Also need to ensure that adlib is set to background printing. Goto tools, options, Print tab.
