I'll do some digging tomorrow - talk to my printing industry friend. He has some pretty cool acrobat addins that merge and split, and n-up print documents. I see if has any hints. In the interim you may want to check out acrobuddies.com or PlanetPDF.com or sites like them
more to follow. Eric.

I checked CFCOMET but I cannot still find an answer to the biggest problem - the number of files that will be generated. I can dynamically populate every single PDF through FDF - no problem. However, with 7,000 or so records it becomes impossible to manually loop over every single record, display the PDF and have the user PRINT it. I need a way to automate the PDF generation *AND* the printing. Any ideas? Anybody? Thanks, Dimo Jason Miller wrote: > check cfcomet.com - I just saw a tidbit in there on creating pdf's on the fly..
