Pdf page number delay and roman numerals

ni_c · 08-11-2015, 03:37 AM

Hey, posted this yesterday but not in this subforum,

just wanto add page number delays to pdf header/footers with the first few blank or roman numerals instead, like most most books use

only one suggestion for code roughly similar here at least suggests it should be do-able

Code:

<p id="pagenum" style="text-align:center;"></p><script>document.getElementById("pagenum").innerHTML = (_PAGENUM_ > 4) ? ("" + _PAGENUM_) : ""</script>

Change the 4 above to whatever you need.

thanks kovidgoyal,

however that snippet only stops it printing numbers on the first few pages, and starts them up with the physical page number after them, instead of beginning with 1 which is what id like to do

also is there no simple way to add roman numerals for innitial pages? (like i,ii,iii,1)

Add -3

<p id="pagenum" style="text-align:center;"></p><script>document.getElementById("pagenum").inner HTML = (_PAGENUM_ > 4) ? ("" + (_PAGENUM_ - 3)) : ""</script>

As for roman numerals, yeah it can be done, but I dont have the time to write the code for you, sorry.

that works, thanks again

btw just needed to remove a space between .inner HTML for it to work, and looks like the two numerical values need to be the same for the first printed number to be 1, eg the following makes page 4 show as 1

Code:

<p id="pagenum" style="text-align:center;"></p><script>document.getElementById("pagenum").innerHTML = (_PAGENUM_ > 3) ? ("" + (_PAGENUM_ - 3)) : ""</script>

and noworries about the roman numerals, youve been a great help already
