PDF Templates "PAGENO" results in "page &1"

StefanL · 20 January 2026 19:10

Hi to all,

since the upgrade to latest 7.15.0 the “Page” on Buttom is shown as “Page &1” instead of “Page 1” is that behavior known? Will be there an fix in next release?

Thanks

Stefan

I don’t know from which version you’re coming from, but at some point about 2 years ago there was a change of the PDF engine, from mPDF to TCPDF. So some syntax issues have changed.

I don’t use either, so I can’t advise on specific issues, but maybe with this information you can search for solutions.

Hi, we are always up-to-date. I update to the newest Version 1-2 Weeks after Release. Upgrade was from 7.14.8 to 7.15.0. PDF Engine is/was TCPDF Engine.

Check default engine in config.php.

Do you mean when you download PDF, then you see page1& at bottom?

config.php:

‘pdf’ =>
array (
‘defaultEngine’ => ‘TCPDFEngine’,
),

so it should be fine.

Yes, “Page &1” on printed PDF, as Result of “PAGENO” Variable

Check the new code merges of v7.15, maybe something got added.

Example,

modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/generatePdf.php

          $text = str_replace("\$discount_amount", "\$" . $variableName . "_discount_amount", $text);

          $text = str_replace("\$tax_amount", "\$" . $variableName . "_tax_amount", $text);
          $text = str_replace("\$shipping_amount", "\$" . $variableName . "_shipping_amount", $text);
          $text = str_replace("\$total_amount", "\$" . $variableName . "_total_amount", $text);
          
          $text = populate_group_lines($text, $lineItemsGroups, $lineItems);
          
          $converted = templateParser::parse_template($text, $object_arr);
          $header = templateParser::parse_template($header, $object_arr);
          $footer = templateParser::parse_template($footer, $object_arr);
          
          $printable = str_replace("\n", "<br />", (string) $converted);
          
          if ($task === 'pdf' || $task === 'emailpdf') {
              $file_name = $mod_strings['LBL_PDF_NAME'] . "_" . str_replace(" ", "_", (string) $bean->name) . ".pdf";
          
              try {
                  $pdf = PDFWrapper::getPDFEngine();
