Create separate pdf for each page

[Mark]

Hi,
If, for example, I have a report which contains details of
100 indivuals, with each persons details on a seperate
page. How do I output this report to form individual pdf
files for each page, the name of which is the name of the
individual ? I have Acrobat 5.0 and Cutepdf and can output
all the files to ONE pdf and split and rename each page
but would prefer to do it at the point of creation. Can
anyone help me?
Thanks
Mark

You could use our batch reporting module to code a solution that produces
the 100
pdf files. Basically a loop through a recordset that runs 100 reports using
a where clause or different sql for each report. Each call makes a pdf.

I could write it for you in about 10 minutes if you need help. Send an
email to the support
email of our site. The evaluation has sample code that does this.

you need to add a do...loop in your code.

Hey Mark Andrews:
Can you write a program to generate PDF's by updating the Default Printer to
a PDF printer driver then reset it back to the original default printer?

Rob,

Our code just makes the PDFs. However I know of a few places where you can
get code to switch the printer to say a PDF printer driver, remember what
the original printer was and then switch back to the original when complete.
