How to access cfdocument.currentpagenumber outside the cfdocumentitem tag

Aug 3rd, 2009

Hi all

Can anybody help me with this.

I want to access cfdocument.currentpagenumber outside the cfdocumentitem tag. I tried the following ways :

1)

 Help with Code Tags 
 coldfusion Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" unit="cm" margintop="4.0" marginbottom="2.0" marginleft="2.2" marginright="2.2"
scale=99 filename="c:\test.pdf" overwrite="yes">
 
<cfoutput>
<cfdocumentsection>
<cfdocumentitem type="header">
<cfset Page = cfdocument.currentpagenumber>
</cfdocumentitem>
 
<cfdocumentitem type="footer" >
FOOTER !!!!
</cfdocumentitem>
 
<table>
<tr>
<td>HELLO</td>
<td> Page No : #Page#</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
 
</cfdocumentsection>
</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>
<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" unit="cm" margintop="4.0" marginbottom="2.0" marginleft="2.2" marginright="2.2"
scale=99 filename="c:\test.pdf" overwrite="yes">

<cfoutput>
<cfdocumentsection>
<cfdocumentitem type="header">
<cfset Page = cfdocument.currentpagenumber>
</cfdocumentitem>

<cfdocumentitem type="footer" >
FOOTER !!!!
</cfdocumentitem>

<table>
<tr>
<td>HELLO</td>
<td> Page No : #Page#</td>
</tr>
</table>


</cfdocumentsection>
</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>

Output :

Variable PAGE is undefined.

At Line : <td> Page No : #Page#</td>

<table>
<tr>
<td>HELLO</td>
<td> Page No : #Page#</td>
</tr>
</table>

</cfdocumentsection>
</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>

Output :

No Error on PDF , but value of Page is blank. I do not get the value of cfdocument.currentpagenumber in Page.
