CF_dynamic_pdf_catalog
We're trying to build a catalog to be burnt onto a CD- ROM. We have hundreds of products detailed within their own Acrobat PDF files. I want to be able to edit existing PDFs and rebuild the CD-ROM, add a PDFs and rebuild the catalog made up of PDFs which will be burnt onto a CD-ROM. Has anyone every built a dynamic catalog assembly application? Maybe CF isn't the answer. Any feedback would be great. __ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
RE: CF_dynamic_pdf_catalog
Sounds to me like you really want to use the Catalog feature of Acrobat itself, and schedule the catalog rebuilds. Then you can just transfer the files to the CD... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 12:11 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF_dynamic_pdf_catalog We're trying to build a catalog to be burnt onto a CD- ROM.

RE: CF_dynamic_pdf_catalog
The company that I work for does dynamic catalogs, but not quite in the same fashion that you're talking about. We have a product that will build a catalog in PDF format from data that is either imported from an Excel file or entered through an interface. It is made for outputting to a printer-ready version for mass duplication of a printed catalog. I asked and it will create a single PDF, but I'm not sure if that is what you're looking for or not. Just FYI, the application is written in a combination of CF and FoxPro.

Re: CF_dynamic_pdf_catalog
If you can get everything into a database, CF would work well - there's a number of PDF creation options for CF (I've used ActivePDF with success) - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 2:10 PM Subject: CF_dynamic_pdf_catalog We're trying to build a catalog to be burnt onto a CD- ROM.
