Report headers not included in "easy print vi panel or documentation"

[Linkster]

I am using the easy print vi panel or documentation function from the report generation toolkit.  I've wired in a cluster constant into the layout options terminal.  I selected include headers and turned on page number and date printed from the boolean options.  The headers are included when I run the program in labview but when I try to build an executable it prints without the header.

I included the dynamic VI's that the toolkit suggested when I built the file but I'm still seeing this issue.

Hi Linkster,

This is the expected behavior, but there is a possible workaround, as shown in the KnowledgeBase article on this issue.

Thanks Stephen.  I already had made my own "printed on date" in my own header.  Do you know of any way to include page numbers for this?  The VI I'm printing prints on multiple pages and not always the same amount of pages.  The VI shown in the knowledgebase does not gather the page information.

Hi Linkster,

Looking at that example VI, it seems that outputting the name, path, and date is relatively easy compared to the page number. It does not seem that there is a VI that outputs the number of pages, and VI property nodes only seem to have the ability to set the header to contain the page number. There is a property node that gives the size of your front panel and block diagram, but you may have to relate that information to number of pages on your own.
