We use active pdf- then the user can query on what they want (ie: individual
report card/report card for class/report card for entire grade).
It works well but it can get a bit slow-it'll take over a minute to do an
entire grade--but the clog is in the cfsets.

I did use the fdf too- you should be able to have it make it query several
reports at once- you need to somehow make a parameter query to let the user
call them in batches.  I remember being able to set up entire classes/grades
with fdf- but the performance pretty quickly degraded.  I don't know about
the automatic printing- I gave them print preview and let them choose to
print or not to print.

Thanks for the advice.. 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
