How to start page numbers with 1 in different sections

Document Builder
1

DocumentBuilder version: 7.4.0
OS:Linux
I want to generate word through builder API, generate multiple sections at the same time and insert page number in the footer, but the default inserted page number is continuous, I found a method that can be set from 1 on the page, but not found in builder API. Can the builder API achieve the same effect?

      var oDocument = Api.GetDocument();
      var oParagraph = oDocument.GetElement(0);
      oParagraph.AddText("This is a new paragraph.");
      oParagraph.AddLineBreak();
      oParagraph.AddText("Scroll down to see the new section.");
      oParagraph.AddPageNumber();
      var oSection = oDocument.CreateSection(oParagraph);
      oSection.SetType("nextPage");
      oParagraph.AddText("This is a paragraph in a new section");
      oParagraph.AddPageNumber();
      oDocument.Push(oParagraph);
      var oParagraph1 = Api.CreateParagraph();
      oParagraph1.AddText("This is a paragraph in a new section");
      oParagraph1.AddPageNumber();
      var oSection1 = oDocument.CreateSection(oParagraph);
      oSection1.SetType("nextPage");
      oDocument.Push(oParagraph1);

Hello @GGbeng1

We are checking the situation. I will provide a feedback as soon as we get any results.

Thanks for the reply. Reading through the source code I found a Set_PageNum_Start method on the Sections class that temporarily solved the problem, but created a new problem.
I want to insert (page number/total pages in the current Section) in the footer of the section
I can’t find a way to get the page number of the current section.
Do you know how to get it? Thank you very much

Please provide a link to this information for the reference.

I’d kindly ask you to create a separate thread for this question as it is not quite related to the original topic about the way to start page numbering for specific section. Thank you for understanding.
