Process Number Variable Calculations

[DavidU54339-XRX]

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

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.

Great Thanks Stefan

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

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.

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

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

A bug has been written against the problem. I do not have a date for the bug resolution.

So this is bug? When it will be fixed?

6 + $FFvart$ doesnt subtract, it add to the value

LoL, I will check it, what about multiply and division?
