Hello guys,

I am really despaired so I hope for help. I would like to ask you if anyone can provide me some code to create PDF wtih several pages and several graphs on one page, because my code which I have done, does not work.

My way of working was, that I ve created one table for one page. To create several pages, I have used a loop. This is working, but if the page number is higher than a specific number, WebFocus is crashing.

2nd Problem: On one page I have got 6 graphs as SVG images. Herefore I am using 6 variables. If I am creating the 2nd page, I would like to overwrite the first 6 variables with the new SVG graphs. That is not working! WebFocus is not overwriting, he is taking always the first images from the first page. I have tested and I ve discovered that WebFocus is needing a running stop, but I don't know how to do that.
So I have used for each SVG Graph an own variable(variable1, variable2,...,variable200), but then an overflow is produced.

If someone has got a better way I would be very happy.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Look up information on the document composer in Developer Studio.

See the below link that shows multiple reports and images in one page which might be useful:

Try to work around with this example.

here's an example using COMPOUND a different way from the topic suggested above.
you create all your .svg files first...
eg: in a loop from 1 to 12, lets say...

EXEC myfex_graf MYGO=&MYGO.QUOTEDSTRING, gonumber = &MYNUMBER , WFFMT=PDF
then all your .svg's will be sitting in your agent directory
so now spit them out, and add a table that is just a regular pdf report.

here's the thing... this code can't have any dialog manager in it. it breaks. makes me really mad...
it can have comments
but no DM looping.
so if you don't know how many bits you're going to have, you have to write a huge number of pages, with all the ones you don't need COMMENTED OUT!!!
argh.
