I need to place "Page X of Y" on my form. I used metadata and placed a text object on my form that list "Page (localvariable)". I used a custom local variable that reads: =GetMeta('SelectedIndexInDocument[0]', 1, 'Job.Group.Document.DataPage.Page') + ' of ' + GetMeta('SelectedPageCount[0]', 1, 'Job.Group.Document').
When previewing optimized for postscript I get the correct result but not when I use printer centric. That would be okay printing postscript optimized except I have to use Watch because the data must split.
In Watch, I have several issues:
(1)Printer centric or optimized postscript stream does not work and (2) Printer destination (using Digimaster EX150) is to the top although in the PP Design form it is set up to go to the stacker.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Rolf,
Anytime Metadata is utilized, printer centric is out and optimized postscript is required to print.

A few questions:
When you say 'Watch' do you mean the workflow tool?
Are you creating metadata in the workflow, prior to sending to print via optimized postscript?

Yes, I am referring to the workflow tool (oops). I am not creating the metadata in the workflow but rather in Design before sending to workflow. Good insight.

You will need to add a 'Create Metadata' plugin to your workflow (pointing to your Design file.)
The meta you see in the Design is not used in the workflow (unless you manually load it up in the data selector) and it will not be used in the Service.

Also, do you have watch, office or production?

I will look into this immediately.

I have Watch on my laptop and Production on a server.
