From Nate: 

I would like to have a feature in the PDF designer which allows me to place page numbering within a PDF. I am willing to bet that 95% of the PDF documents output by the canvas program are multipage documents.

Most of our PDF documents output by canvas will be greater than 5 pages and may vary in length due to loop screen functions and a user’s option to gather additional information. So the function would need to calculate the total number of pages upon outputting to PDF to be able to input “Page 1 of X, Page 2 of X, Page 3 of X” on each page of the document being output.

Once printed, this allows readers and creators of the PDF to more easily reference the specifics of a document by being able to reference a page number. I think that if considered, this would be a major bonus for most people using canvas that are creating multipage documents.

  From DB Haller: 

  I'd like to be able to add X of Y for report pages in the footer.

  Same here. This function would come in very handy as some of these .pdf files will be printed

  It seems that many of the features I need, such as page numbering and the ability to remove or add information to the footer have been asked many times, for months and nothing seems to be happening on that front.  

  I realize GoCanvas wants the free advertising at the bottom of each PDF report, but I want my own information there, not CoCanvas'.

  Hi Len! There actually is a way to remove the GoCanvas branding in the PDF footer - this is an option for accounts on the Business plan and above:

  Yep, thanks Nathan!

  Though it currently only does simple page number (Page 1, Page 2...) not Page 1 of 12.
