Multipage documents with running subtotals

[CharlesS]

When printing multipage invoices or purchase orders, I would like to have a running subtotal on the bottom of each page with a grand total on the last page. I suppose I could create a looping script and print each page separately, but there are times when I would like to have the document in a single PDF file. Any suggestions?

The whole "sub-total at the bottom of each page" isn't the natural way for FMP to work, so any way you do it is going to be complicated.

FMP 9.0 allows multiple pdfs to be appended to one file, if you want to go that way.

What exactly is a "running subtotal on the bottom of each page"? If it's running, then a summary field defined as a running total and placed in the footer should be it.

I tried that. Even with the summary field defined as a running total, the amount printed on each footer is the total of the order. Looks like I'm going to have to do some fancy scripting.

I'm sorry, you are right - I forgot about this. You need to define a calculation field as = SummaryRunTotalField and place this field in the footer instead.

Thank you! A simple solution that works great!
