How to repeat table header on each page of PDF using Coldfusion

Hi all,
Can anybody help me in resolving this issue. The details are mentioned below.

I am generating PDF using <cfdocument> tag of Cold Fusion.
I have a header and footer to be displayed on each page. I am rendering data in a table.
If rows in the table exceed a page , and continue on the next page , I want the table headers to be repeated on each of the page.

Example :
Currently this is happening:

Page Header

Some text .....

Column1 Header Column2 Header --- {Table headers}
A B
C D

Page Footer : Page No 1

Page Header

E F

Page Footer : Page No 2

What I want is this :

Page Header

Some text .....

Column1 Header Column2 Header --- {Table headers}
A B
C D

Page Footer : Page No 1

Page Header

Column1 Header Column2 Header --- {Table headers}
E F

Page Footer : Page No 2

Thanks in advance

Hi Gavy,

Thanks for ur inputs. I am using Coldfusion 8
I tried searching the link , but my problem remains unsolved.

The main issue is I am setting a variable in <cfdocumentitem type="footer" > , but I can not get the updated value of the variable outside the <cfdocumentitem> tag.

Example :

<cfdocument format="PDF">
<cfoutput>
<cfset Page = 1>
<cfdocumentsection>
<cfdocumentitem type="header">
HEADER <cfoutput>#cfdocument.currentpagenumber#</cfoutput>
</cfdocumentitem>
<table>
<cfloop index = "i" from="1" to="500">
<tr>
<td>HELLO</td>
<td> Page No : #Page#</td>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</table>
<cfdocumentitem type="footer" >
FOOTER
<cfset page = page+1>
</cfdocumentitem>
</cfdocumentsection>

Current Output :

HEADER 1

Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1

FOOTER


HEADER 2
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1

FOOTER

The desired output is :

HEADER 1

Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1
Hello Page No 1

FOOTER

HEADER 2

Hello Page No 2
Hello Page No 2
Hello Page No 2
Hello Page No 2
Hello Page No 2
Hello Page No 2

FOOTER

How can I get the value of variable Page which has been updated in <cfdocument item type = "footer"> tag ??

Thanks in advance

 

As mentioned on one of your other threads,
a) it is not possible to access currentpagenumber outside of the cfdocumentitem tag
b) it is not possible to repeat the table headers unless you can find a supported css attribute for this

(Geez. You sure posted your questions to a _lot_ of forums)
