FrankDutchcomplex compound pdf
I have a compound PDF document that holds a header line with some basic information. A graph and the little table with a few lines all fitting on one page.
This all works perfect for one single set of data.
But the single set of data is a selection out of 32 groups of data so I need that one page for all 32 groups.
That sounds basic, but it is not easy I found out.
I made a list of the all the groupcodes (with some additional information and from that list I can click and create all the pages one by one.
Now I would like to create a composed PDF that holds both the above mentioned basic page and the 32 graph pages.
I tried to create a overall compound fex that cycles through all the 32 groups and creates the pages with a looping that says SET COMPOUND OPEN and at the beginning of the last page SET COMPOUND=CLOSE
But whatever I do, I only get one page of the 32
(always the first one)
Is there an other way that does work for this?
Help would be great

WazPossibly a co-ordinated compound report with MERGE=ON.

That should be one of the option, and I tried that already.
when I tried that the whole program either crashed, or I got 32 times the same graph on all pages.
the thing I was thinking of is now write all the 32 reports to disk as single pdf files
and then combining them, maybe without webfocus

Ram Prasad EAs Waz mentioned, you can try with MERGE=ON.
Or else you can use MERGE=OFF and use ON first-by-field PAGE-BREAK.
Also let us know how you are calling the graph component, as a image in TABLE FILE request or directly refering with GRAPH FILE.
You need to set correct value for GRMERGE method inorder to see expected result.
Post your code for better understanding.
