AEM Native PDF Page Numbers in Appendices

Hello!

 

I've been working on a bookmap template and the chapter content is looking good, but when I came across my first appendix I noticed that the footers weren't in the output. I think that makes sense since it isn't technically a <chapter> anymore.

 

I created a page layout (with the footer) and an associated outputclass. I applied it and the output started showing the footer, but it appears to be breaking pages on headers (despite selecting avoiding breaks).

 

What is the best way to get page numbers on appendices without breaking pages?

 

Thanks in advance!

Josh

Hi, Tulika!

Thanks for your clarification!

 

I had tried something similar before, but I couldn't stop the page breaks.

 

By doing your step b above, the appendix heading pages are now getting footers but it appears as though the pages break after each h1.appendix:

The next page has the subtopics on it, but no footer.

The footer does not appear again until another h1.appendix.

 

What should I try next? Is there any way to stop the page breaks? I have tried telling all headings to avoid breaking after, but it didn't seem to matter.

 

Thanks for your help!

Josh

 


Hi Josh,

 

Could you please confirm if 'appendix' page layout was added to class appendix-content (and not to class appendix).

If yes, please also share the page layout you are using for appendix.

Can you try setting the page layout for the Back Matter? If this doesn't work then set the page layout for Common pages.

    Thanks for getting back to me!

     

    Unfortunately, this did not add page numbers to the appendices. Any other things I can try?

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Josh,

     

    Try the following

    • Create a page layout called "appendix"
    • Add the following css to the content.css file in the template

      .appendix-content {

        page: appendix;

      }

    • Save and generate the PDF

    Do let us know how it goes.

    Thanks,

    Vivek


    Thanks again for the response!

     

    I feel like that should have worked, but unfortunately that didn't do the trick.

    I'd appreciate any other ideas you may have!

     

    Thanks again!

    Josh
