Well the page part was easy enough to do.
It's the setting of the variable that I can't seem to get. I can set and
send the variable to a regular html page fine. It's the setting in
activePDF, which pulls the only the last
#NarrativeGet.EduLeveNarrative[i]#
(looks like each reiteration of the loop it resets it to the newest [i])
I'm wondering how I can dynamically concatenate
#NarrativeGet.EduLeveNarrative[1]#+#NarrativeGet.EduLeveNarrative[2]#
+#NarrativeGet.EduLeveNarrative[3]# for activepdf...argh
Thanks for all the insight....

: <!---Here is my test output of the data- it shows correctly the length of

: </CFOUTPUT>
Initialize a temp variable to 0. Let's call it "totalLen". Also, you need
a counter to tell you what page you're on. Each time you are about to try
to add a page, do something like
if (totalLen + len(NarrativeGet.EduLevelNarrative[i]) gt 5000)
{
totalLen = 0;
pageRef = pageRef + 1;
}
totalLen = totalLen + len(NarrativeGet.EduLevelNarrative[i]);
addToPage(pageRef, NarrativeGet.EduLeveNarrative[i]);
where addToPage() represents whatever has to be done to add the thing to a
page.
Please note that this is thrown together off the top of my head. But it
seems to me to be in the right direction.
HTH.
