pdf utils: pass value from main-template to header

RetoE

Hi,

I have a invoice template and I want to pass the invoice-id to the header to print it on every page. And I can pass the value with handlebars like this to pdf-utils:

<span>{{invoiceid}}</span>{{{pdfAddPageItem invoiceid}}}

But I don't understand how to access this value on the header template?
It should be accessible like $pdf.pages[x].items[y]. What stands x and y for?

I tried 0 and 0 because it is on page 1 and it is the first (and only) item I add with pdfAddPageItem. So I added this to the header template:

{{$pdf.pages[0].item[0]}}

But I think I'm getting something wrong here...
Should be a rather simple task, I geuss.

I got it working.

The correct syntax is:

<span>{{../$pdf.pages.[0].items.[0]}}</span>

But the funny thing is, the assignment of a value does not always work. The pdfAddPageItem above does not work. But if I put it a few lines later after a $localizedResource it works:

{{$localizedResource.invoce}}{{{pdfAddPageItem invoiceid}}}
