Rails - Jan 2006 - Pdf::Writer ; page numbering, and table wrapping

Hey there,

I know this isn''t a pdf::writer list - If there''s a more
appropriate
place for me to ask these questions I''d appreciate being set straight.

I''m having a couple of misunderstandings/isssues first with page
numbers
and secondly with auto-wrapping of simple_table.

First

pdf.start_page_numbering(pdf.margin_x_middle, 
pdf.absolute_bottom_margin, 9, :center, nil, nil)

Using the default ''pattern'', is rendering ''x of
N+1'' - or specifically
it always thinks that <TOTALPAGENUM> is 1 greater than the number of 
pages in the document. I''ve rendered 1, 2 and 3 page documents, and it 
responds with "1 of 2", "1 of 3", "1 of 4", etc.
Using the pattern
string (''<PAGENUM> of <TOTALPAGENUM>'' results in
the same output.

Secondly,

the auto-wrapping of tables, runs directly into both the before 
mentioned page numbers, and into a header added via add_object(.., 
:all_pages).

Is there a way to configure the auto-wrapping of tables to skip a Y?
I''m
configuring the other paths, so I do know in advance where wrapping 
should start, and begin.

Thanx for any thoughts.

cheers,
Jodi

The page numbering issue is a known bug that I will be fixing. I am
not sure what you''re asking on the second item.

To fix the page numbering issue add the following before your program 
exits


pdf.stop_page_numbering(true)
