Topic: PageRanges parameter

Date Posted: 09 Sep 15 at 8:02AM

Various functions like RenderAsMultipageTIFFToFile has a PageRanges parameter which is a string containing like "1-3,6,7".

In my case I would like to have it covering all pages.

I have found that "" (empty) or "0" fails.

I can make it work by setting it to "1-1000" as I know/assume that I never go beyond page 1000.

But is there a proper way of doing this?

Thomas

First use

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/PageCount.php

then you be know how many page is.

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, you are absolutely right that I could build the string using pagecount information.

And also that it will be very polite not to ask for pages which are not there like when doing "1-1000" on a 2-page pdf.

I will change my question: Is there a fixed string (undocumented?) which corresponds to "all pages"?
