Hi
Maybe someone can just point me in the right direction :
(Windows, FM Pro 13)
I have a found set, say 30 records, all having the same job number ID.
Within this set, the records each have a value in the Region field.
The number of records will vary, and the regions are also variable.
I sort the records by Region, then I want to save the records to PDF, creating
one PDF file for each region.
I was thinking along the lines of creating a value list of the regions, and
then looping through each value etc.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Peter
Set up your post-sort output report with a sub-summary part on top, triggered
by encountering a new region, with the “New Page” option turned on. Use a
single “Print” command to save the resultant report as a single, multi-page
PDF. You’d only need to script it if you wanted each page to be saved as an
individual PDF.
Thanks Richard, but I do need to save each group to an individual PDF. Can only
think that I need to constrain to each region, save, and repeat for remaining
regions?
