I took a total left turn here in my solution and I wanted to share the results. My problem spawned from reports I was creating from Excel and a series of data that needed to be produced for different store locations at our company. However, each store needed a consolidated view as well. Last week, when I created these reports each store ended up receiving two separate PDF files due to this complication.
I had been using Zryip's Excel Lib to populate these spreadsheets and then using his print to PDF feature to create these documents. After explaining my problem to him he wrote a function to help me out that hides Excel workbook sheets before the printing process. My template now has the overall statistics on sheet 1 and all other store locations in additional tabs. This allows me to produce a combined PDF file based upon which sheets I want to expose and customized for each location. Thank you Zyrip!
