Valentina printing to pdf with a pagenumber doesn't work

General
1

I have an mac mini (M4 26.5.2) with Valentina studio Pro 15.5.3 (64bit).
I create a report with some values from a mysql database.
Then I create a Xojo (2025 R 3.1) program for a Mac, and use the Print_Valentina.vsp file to create a pdf. (in xojo)
This works perfect.
But as soon as I add two Text Fields named Page Number / Total Pages. The pdf is not created, No errors just not created. And when I remove the two the pdf is created again.
This is how I print the pdf in xojo:

Try

Var Location As New FolderItem(LocationVSP)mProject = New VProject(Location)

mProject.Open()

If mProject <> Nil Then

Var inDataSource As String = "mysql://host='" + Host + "' port='" + Port.ToString() + "' dbname='" + DatabaseName + "' user='" + User + "' password='" + Password + "'"

mReport = mProject.MakeNewReport(Report, inDataSource, "" )

Var f As New folderItem(LocationPDF + "/" + PDFName)

mReport.PrintToDisk( f, EVReportPrintType.kToPDF, 1 )


End If

Exception err As VExceptionMessageBox(err.Message)

End

Can someone help me in this?
Where are the error messages kept/saved?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Ruslan doesn’t read this forum. Try the Valentina forum instead or send him an email.

Hello Ruslan,

Thank you.

Thanks to Sergey the solution was a simple change.

Please try replacing the JavaScript expressions with “Text With Macros,” either individually or combined:

$(page)
$(pagetotal)
$(page) / $(pagetotal)
In all 6 of the reports I added at the top of the page the macro.
And that worked. Just don’t use the javacript and use an other way.

Valentina has so many ways.
