Hi Rahul Nemani ,

Thanks for reaching out!

For now HTML to PDF plugin doesn't have that format of numbering, We will analyse on this and if this is possible we will update it in our future release.

Hi. Is there a way to output the format like 1 of 3, 2, 2 of 3, 3 of 3 at the bottom of each page in the PDF instead of just the number?

Hi davidef0002,

The plugin is supported in the 23.3 version of Appian. We are not facing any issues in the latest version. Could you please send the input parameter values so that we can debug on the issue you faced.

Thanks,

Hello. I'm constantly getting the following error message in a 23.3 Appian Environment: "java.lang.NullPointerException". I'm not getting any errors when running the smart service in a 23.1 environment, hence me thinking that this could be due to versions compatibility issues.

Are you planning to release a 23.3 compatible version any time soon?

Thanks in advance,

Davide

Did you consider to enable the SVG rendering capabilities of the openhtmltopdf library? That would allow us to add dynamic charts to PDF documents.

I have a similar problem, only one page even with paragraph or div with a 'page-break-before' or after with 'always'. Tried different overflow: tags just in case, but nothing creates physically different pages. I may try a more 'plain' test .html file in case there is some conflict with other styles.
