Page count in joined layout.

Show all headers | View raw

I'm trying to make a joined print from tow layouts, because I need to
join two body section that can be repeated more times each (list views).
To explain, my print should be composed:

Header
Leading grand summary
body 1 - repetition 1
body 1 - repetition 2
body 1 - repetition 3
body 1 - repetition …x
body 2 - repetition 1
body 2 - repetition 2
body 2 - repetition 3
body 2 - repetition …y
Trailing grand summary
Footer

I think the unique way to get this with FileMaker is to join two layouts
with a printing script. The problem is that my customer wants the pages
will be numbered in an unique count, for example:
page 1 of 8
where 8 is the sum from the two layouts pages count.
Note that each body repetition has a variable height.
So, I found how to count the pages, opening both layouts in preview
mode, but now I can't find how to number pages from second layout… 

In the first layout I have:
{{PageNumber}} of $$TotalPages

but in the second, I need something like
$$Layout1Pages+{{PageNumber}} of $$TotalPages

but I didn't find how to do. Someone had the same need, or in any case,
knows how to solve this problem?
