in the last couple of hours I tried to create an imprint which prints a sequential number to every first page of all selected documents (e.g. attachments).
The nearest solution to my requirement I got to work like this:
Create an imprint which prints a text („Attachment No.“)
Create an imprint which prints the tags
Create a combined imprint which has no. 1 and no. 2 in it
tag all documents with the desired sequential number (for instance „B 1“, „B 2“ and so on)
use the combined imprint
This works ok-ish for a small number of documents, but not at all for:
a bunch of selected documents (there only the random document of all selected ones got imprinted) and
I have more than only a few documents to tag because tagging becomes cumbersum really fast
Ideally I think the counter function could be a solution but I did not get it to work.
This should be possible, just tried this. A screenshot of your imprinter configuration might be useful. In addition, how did you exactly imprint the selection? Via smart rules, batch processing or Tools > Imprint?
Followup update for DTP 3.7 - This issue still persists for me as it has in previous versions.
@aedwards : Did you found the bug (?) and is there a fix to be expected (sooner or later)? The workaround of converting the (first page) PDF to jpg, imprint and convert back to PDF is tedious.
Just tested with v3.7.2 on Big Sur and I am not seeing any issue here with either tiff images or counters, all worked as expected. Which version of macOS are you running?
