I am new here and not sure if this is the correct forum for this questions but any help would be greatly appreciated.

-----------------------------------------

I know how to run a script and have the found results create a PDF of the data, but how do I have the script make multiple PDFs from the same single script.

We have multiple clients (say 50) and when we run the script all of these data is in 1 PDF broken up by pages... but we want to have that script break the results up into 50 PDFs, sorted by the 50 clients. Make sense?

Right now the only way we are able to break everything apart is by going into the "mass" PDF and pull the desired pages out and create a new PDF from them. This has worked for a while now but is started to get cumbersome as our client total rises. If there is a better way to go about this it would be greatly appreciated if someone can point us in the right direction.

Thanks

You are going to have to find one client at a time and create the PDFs one at a time.

This can be done in a single script using a loop.

Fitch,

I gave that a try but now when I am prompt to name the file how and I suppose to know which client I am making the PDF for? Is there a script that will automatically name the file according to the conditions I set or will I have to manually set the file name each time?

anyone?

I did the same thing in a DB that We produced a letter from for many different locations. We had the data as a sub-summary and then set variables to capture the right data into a .pdf. Here is the link to the Filemaker forum with the answer:
