By 'fix', I assume you are referring to the page numbers not displaying, correct ? Also as I requested, please update the documentation.

Can someone help document this plugin better ? Examples in the documentation for various parameters like Page Format Text would help greatly. Also, though this runs properly for me without errors and generates the PDF, it does not show any page numbers in the PDF though I have specified the Start Page and Start Page Number parameters as 1 each.

It also seems to be ignoring the CSS that I have in the file and instead seems to be using its own CSS and fonts.

I got it resolved, but don't know the root cause, however hope it can help someone.

So what you need to do is add any document as 'Font Document', close the smart service, open it again and remove the document. Maybe after the above action, service is sending 'empty' instead null, but just a guess.

Important is that it get back to work.

Dear Group,

After moving to version 23.4 and updating the plugin to the newest version, the smart service is erroring out with a message: "java.lang.NullPointerException". It is not specific to any process, just anything we are trying to convert is failing.

Anyone facing the same problem ?

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?
