Let us say you have a list of Sobject

youneed to create a wrapper class 

public class sobjectwrapper {

      sobject sobj { get;set; }

      Integer counter { get;set; }

}

 

Then once you have the list from soqlquery

loop through the list and create a list of sobjectwrapper with counter variable

use this class list in controller.

Hi,

You can use pagination for this. Please have a look in the blog, you can get a better idea.

Hi,

 

You can use StandardSetController which provides you to set no of pages.

Please check once it .so you will get a good idea to solve your problem.

Hi,

 

I was trying to explore into pagination with renderas PDF and i dont think we will have an option to achieve this. I just tried to show a list of records of a custom object in page as command link and clicking each record will take me to the detail page, but with the renderas PDF option the link doesnt work. And moreover, with this option a PDF with just 1 page (list of records) is getting created. I guess we dont have the option, please let the community know on your inputs/areas explored regarding this.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

          You can have a counter variable in the list you have and do a dynamic render of pagebreak in pdf based on the modulus operator like below:

 

              <apex:outputpanel rendered="{!IF(AND(MOD(Counter,10) == 0), true, false)}">                

                     <br/>

                     <DIV style="page-break-after: always"></DIV>

                     <br/>           

           </apex:outputpanel>
