Hi Credric ,
If http://www.pentaho.com/index.php is Apache 2.0 , Please feel free to
create integration. People might appreciate cross-pollination.
Atleast you might want to make a small writeup as to how Pentaho can be
integrated with Ofbiz
Thanks in advance from the team to you
Chand

Hi Jacopo,
I would told you the following things:
- use a reporting framework and not something based on fop and xsl which
is realy power consuming not itext directly. I would use Pentaho Reporting
(aka JFreeReport http://reporting.pentaho.org/) on which the new version
will be heavily multi-threaded and which support xml templates. PS: I am
also involved in this project.
- I would not use the single document definition that is already in OFBiz.
It will restrict it so much later if you want to make groups, ...
Cédric,

Objet : How to implement bulk printing of documents?
What is the best/easiest way (if possible) to implement the bulk printing
of a set of PDF reports that share the same template (aka screen widget
definition)?
For example, generate a big PDF with all the purchase orders in the
created approved status; the pdf can then be printed and so that the
purchase orders are sent by mail to the suppliers.
Ideally I'd like to reuse the existing screen definition that defines the
single document and just iterate over it and put the output into a single
PDF file.
Any hints/ideas on how to implement this?
Another interesting option would be that of bulk sending by email a set of
documents (for example one email per supplier with the attached purchase
order), but this is not very important for me at the moment, just one more
wish in my list.
Jacopo
