Hi, how do you create you print format? I’ve created
Standard Yes
Custom Print Format True
Print Format Type Server
and then I’ve added my HTML to HTML field with this part
<p class="text-center small page-number visible-pdf"> {{ _("Page {0} of {1}").format('<span class="page"></span>', '<span class="topage"></span>') }} </p>

@SwitsolAG even i have done the same but here the problem is i need to create index page in my print format. In index page i need to print page numbers. How can i get the page numbers beforehand as they are generated after converted to pdf .

how do you generate your page number? have you tried to add this(which I wrote below) code into the your generation process?

14

Yes i have added the above code to generate page number but how can i fetch it to display on index page

@SwitsolAG, Page number is generated at run time, so how can i fetch that page number & display on my index page. this is my query,if you are not understanding then its ok…

I think you should check function subst() in the frappe\frappe\templates\pdf_header_footer.html maybe it can help
