PageNumbering starts with 0 (zero) in Aspose.Words for SSRS 3.4

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

In our RDL (report template), we use the following expression to generate a page number reference in the footer section of the report:
= "Page " & Globals!PageNumber & " of " & Globals!TotalPages

While the built-in renderers correctly display and render “Page 1 of xxx”, on the first page,
Aspose.Words for SSRS rendering engine reports “Page 0 of xxx” and continues with 1,2,3 on the next pages.

As we do not know upfront, which export format will be used by the customer, it is not possible for us to “tweak” the formula in rdl to work around that problem.

I also see, that Aspose.Words dows not render the RDL constants (PageNumber and TotalPages) to the corresponding Microsoft Word Fields (which would of course solve the problem completely).

Regards,
Thomas.

Please find attached the desired report template.

Unfortunately, even with the latest version 3.51, I cannot confirm your observation.

Please find attached the same rdl, rendered with a dataset causing more than one page to be rendered…
