Answer 1

Let me start by saying that this is a somewhat ugly workaround and works only if your summary consists of fixed amount of pages.

When you design your report, and put in $V{PAGE_NUMBER} that shows you the amount of pages - you can actually call some Java logic before the output is shown. Specifically you can just subtract 1 and get the result you need.

Answer 2

you can just subtract 1 and get the result you need. For Example: [CDATA[new java.lang.Integer($V{PAGE_NUMBER}.intValue()-1)]]
