@accesssoft You should use AWExporterParameter.RECOGNIZE_FIELDS option and the appropriate MS Word field code { PAGE } in your report.

Hi Peggy,

I’ve changed my JRXML to use {PAGE} field code for current page number and set RECOGNIZE_FIELDS to true, but the output odt document gives null value on current page number. Please refer to code snippet images below and attached files.

Hi @accesssoft
I checked your jrxml file and find $V{PAGE_NUMBER} and $V{PAGE} field.
But AW for JasperReport create and set $V{PAGE} and $V{NUMPAGES} field.
It means that your $V{PAGE_NUMBER} field has null value.

Currently JASPER REPORT cannot recognize the number of changes in $V{PAGE} and $NUMPAGES}

I’m adding two variables now, PAGE and NUMPAGES , but they all show as NULL

Hi @accesssoft

I find working expression from our tests
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}"]]></textFieldExpression>

It means that you can replace $V{PAGE_NUMBER} to {NUMPAGES} and $V{PAGE} to {PAGE}
It doesn’t require adding variables

Hi @accesssoft

For printing Page number please use static text and delete unused Page variable,

<staticText>
	<reportElement x="686" y="60" width="24" height="17"/>
	<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle">
		<font fontName="標楷體" size="12"/>
	</textElement>
	<text><![CDATA[{PAGE}]]></text>
</staticText>

In previous cases PAGE_NUMBER is printed right. You can use the old text field with $V{PAGE_NUMBER} or static text with {NUMPAGES}

<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{PAGE_NUMBER}]]></textFieldExpression>
<text><![CDATA[{NUMPAGES}]]></text>

we try below way still null.

PageSetup pageSetup = doc.getFirstSection().getPageSetup();
pageSetup.setRestartPageNumbering(true);
pageSetup.setPageStartingNumber(1);

Also, doc.updateFields(); still failed.

@accesssoft It looks like you postprocess the document using Aspose.Words for Java, right? Could you please attach the document, which is the input for Aspose.Words.Document?

Could you please clarify what is null?

Do you get an exception?

StaticText is sucessful.
However, currently there is another problem, one page has page header blank page.
here is dropbox link https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/845xioom3svtqugka869x/h?dl=0&rlkey=u211zvuientwi07dcdoh35son

Hi @accesssoft

For printing PAGE_NUMBER please use static text and delete unused $V{PAGE_NUMBER} variable,

<staticText>
	<reportElement x="784" y="38" width="17" height="17"/>
	<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle">
		<font fontName="標楷體" size="12"/>
	</textElement>
	<text><![CDATA[{ NUMPAGES }]]></text>
</staticText>

The page header on the blank page could be happen on many reason.
I thinking about the Page Break and how it can split tables to different pages.
