10/03/2021, 10:29 PMthey're BFO variables: pagenumber and totalpages
which are used like HTML elements:
<pagenumber/><totalpages/>David B

The PDF template and the data source (i.e. a transaction) gets merged together by Freemarker. This 'processed template' is then used by BFO to make the PDF.
Only BFO knows how many PDF pages there are going to end up being, so you cannot use

Let me know if that's actually what you're asking about

10/03/2021, 11:23 PM@David B, that is what I'm asking about. Ideally was looking to find a way to get the number of pages based on the PDF data in a pre-existing file.
