Jspdf: Dynamically Create Header or Footer

[PizzaPokerGuy]

Has anyone been able to dynamically create a header on every single page or a footer with page a current/total page number?

Well... I guess you can.

you have the Methods

• getNumberOfPages
• getCurrentPageInfo which returns an object with the property pageNumber
• setPage

So putting them together:

var doc = jsPDF();
doc.setFontSize(12);
doc.addPage();
doc.addPage();
doc.addPage();
doc.addPage();
doc.addPage();
doc.addPage();
var pageCount = doc.internal.getNumberOfPages();
for(i = 0; i < pageCount; i++) { 
doc.setPage(i); 
doc.text(10,10, doc.internal.getCurrentPageInfo().pageNumber + "/" + pageCount);
}

test it by copy and pasting it here https://parall.ax/products/jspdf

That would not work if say something extends multiple pages. Then your
pageNumber count would be off would it not?

These are API functions. If somebody would modify/extend jspdf with breaking these functions,then it is anyway violating the rules of good coding. And if they would break the functionality the pdf generation would be broken, because the pagenumber is used for it.

I wrote a template plugin.

Thanks arasabbasi

Shouldn't these methods show up in the documentation?
