Issue with page numbering in "Merge attachments into a Word/PDF file" action
0

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing an issue with the "Merge attachments into a Word/PDF file" action.

When I use this action to merge multiple Word documents (.docx) into a single file, the page numbering in the resulting document is generated incorrectly.

As a result, the final document does not have a continuous page sequence (for example, the page numbering restarts from 1 at the beginning of each merged section).

I need the final, merged document to have consecutive, continuous page numbering from start to finish.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, did you find a workaround or a specific configuration in Word/Webcon to fix this?

I would appreciate any help or advice on how to resolve this.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I don’t think this is a WEBCON issue, but rather related to how the Word templates are configured. Could you check whether the page numbering is set up correctly in the template?

Header/Footer → Page Number → Format Page Numbers → Page numbering

It should be set to:

Continue from previous section

instead of:

Start at 1

This is often the reason why page numbering resets after merging documents.
