Hi gurus.
Problem again. I have a varying amount of objects and I want to use only one PpdfPageFormatter to write these into separate pages of ONE pdf-file. I'm assigning every object a unique pdf_page_number and thought this would do the trick, but it doesn't.
Reading the documentation it seems like I need a new PdfPageFormatter for every new page. Can this really be correct? Or am I doing something stupid again?

Hi @peteralstorp, how about overwriting pdf_page_number with appropriate page number after the PDFPageFormater?
@peteralstorp
Create groups (create a group_id)from the attributes, set a counter (start count = 1) grouped by your group_id to them.
Use pdfpageformater, with default pagenumber = 1
After pdfpageformatter create attribute pdf_page_number = _count.
(like Takashi said, create pdf_page_number after the pdfpageformatter)
Just make sure to group the objects by a counter (starting at 1)
I made a custom transformer maybe can help you

The right answer has already been given, but I would like to add this:
Make sure you don't leave any gaps in your page numbering. E.g. if you supply page numbers 1, 2, 3 and 5 the PDF Writer will make an empty page 4.
Good, thanks!
