Re: Process Number Variable Calculations

The calculation capability is in many nodes (e.g., Resize) beyond just Imposition.

Re: Process Number Variable Calculations

Process Number Variable calculations are available where a "link" icon is showing for the value entry. After the link incon is selected the "Calculated Value" needs to be selected. See example below.p1.pngp2.png

Re: Process Number Variable Calculations

Great Thanks Stefan

Is there an overview that shows where Process Number Variable can be used and where not?

Re: Process Number Variable Calculations

Hi Niels-Martin,

There is no calculation done in the Watermark, but you can do this with a script in an External Process. The attached Python script will print the number of pages - 2 on the first page of the pdf. After installing Python you can use pip install pymupdf from cmd as admin.

Re: Process Number Variable Calculations

Hi

I am using 6.2.4 and like to hear if this has been solved and how to use it? 

I have tried the different suggestion in this tread, and nothing work for me

  • $FFwfDoc.pages$-2
  • $FFwfDoc.pages$ - 2
  • -2+$FFwfDoc.pages$

The value of $FFwfDoc.pages$ is bigger than 2 in the test I have made, so the result is not negative.

I have also tested $FFwfDoc.pages$+2, just to see, and this do also not work,

I use it in a watermark.

How can I use this?

Regards

Niels-Martin

Re: Process Number Variable Calculations

In 5.4.2 it is working but You have to make space between variable and substract symbol and the value.

For Example

$FFvarialbe$ - 5
