Multi-layout Report

Featured Replies

I have just completed a really sexy quote/report.

The final report consists of nine different layouts. Most of them consist basically of one large text field. Each sub-report is a single page except for one, which can run close to the maximum number of pages. At the last minute, my beloved customer announced that he wanted a facility to print PDFs so the stuff can be emailed.

It is a runtime/kiosk solution, so no 'save as PDF'. The customer does use pdfFactory to print other bits to PDFs but this is impractical with 9 successive Print commands.

The multi-page sub-report starts on P.3 so I could combine the first two sub-reports on one layout, then the multi-pager and finally the last 6 sub-reports. This means three special print ops and, also, I am not too enamoured of FMP's efforts at printing long multi-field layouts, nor of my chances of getting the pages right. I'd like a neater solution.

(Just in case, does anyone know how to force a pagebreak within the Body?)

Any brilliant ideas? Please? Pretty please? Justify my (frequent) comments about how great this forum is and how clever/good/smart/inventive the members are.

I can't offer a FMP solution, but I have dealth with a similar problem by using Software995.com's tools. One is a PDF printer driver. Another is a tool that will merge multiple PDF's into one.

It's awkward, but you may find a solution there.
