Store report in container after printed

Hi,

I need to store an image of a report every time it's printed, so this is what I did:

1) created a custom menu so the "print" option executes a script

2) the script saves a PDF in the documents folder

3) then the PDF file is stored in a container field (not linked)

The problem with this is that reports can be long and they have some logos, so sometimes it takes forever ...

I tried the following alternative:

1) created a custom menu so the "print" option executes a script

2) the script goes to preview mode and executes the "Copy" script step

3) goes to browse mode and "pastes" it into a container field

This seems to be faster but the problem is that it only copies the first page of the report. I tried adding a loop to go to each page but every time it goes back to preview mode it takes even longer ...

Any ideas on how can I make this work faster? Thanks very much in advance!
