Why not just keep a running total inside the loop, as I thought I was
demonstrating? Having never worked with ActivPDF, maybe I'm missing
something, but why wouldn't you simply keep track of how many characters
you've already added, rather than trying to re-calculate it each time?

: 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
: : each narrative-
: : So the question is how do I get a sum or/do narrative + narrative
: : +narrative
: : to get blocks of 5000?--->
: : <CFOUTPUT>#(Len(NarrativeGet.EduLevelNarrative[I])#
: : </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.
