I have a few html files that I need to merge in a single pdf.
Until now it was possible to just generate one unified html and then just one pdf with the correct page numbering.
Now some of the html documents have slightly different page sizes and I need to convert them separately.
My problem is that merging removes the page numbering.
Is it possible to do a merging and keep the page numbering of the original pdfs?
When yes, is it also possible to set a TotalPageNumber for each document (not just the FirstPageNumber)?
Thanks

Hi,
It is not possible to set TotalPageNumber. If you wish to have more control over page header/footer, you can convert the main contents without header/footer first, then run a loop through all pages and use either the HTML to PDF converter or the ACM interface to add page header/footers.
However the merge should not modify anything that's already on the page, so if the page number is already on the page, it should not remove it. If that's the case, please send us two sample PDF files where this problem would occur. Once we receive those files, we will look into it and get back to you. We will PM you as to where to send the files.
Thanks!

You are right, sorry about that, I am also generating the pdfs two times and in the second round I was not setting the footer at all.
Still, would it be possible to include the feature of setting the TotalPageNumber in a future release?
This would spare us the manual work of setting the footer with the ACM interface in such a case.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. We will put this on our list but we have to be very careful to add these kind of non essential features. The reason is while every feature individually looks very simple and straight forward, but if we put 100 such features together, then it becomes very overwhelming and confusing to the end user. One important reason that our product is very popular is because it keeps a very simple and clean interface. If we were to take the other route to add all these kind of little features, then instead of spending time to manually write some ACm code, you would be spending time to sifting through 100 similar but not exactly the same "features" to find the one that exactly fits your need, which can actually cost you more time.
Thanks!

That is absolutely true, and we love every bit of what you've done with EO.Pdf.
I just felt that TotalPageNumber would be nice complement to the FirstPageNumber feature, of course using ACM is not a problem at all.
Thanks and keep it up!
