I have a pdf layout application that has six object on one pdf page, two reports and four graphs. The customer enters an account number and the pdf comes up on the screen. Now they want to enter a range of accounts and each one is to have its own separate page of six objects. The only approach I can think of is to do a loop with each account and run the pdf layout app for each account. This is probably the simplest way but I thought I'd ask if anyone knows a better way.

Hi

If all reports and graphs use the same BY command as the first BY (BY Accounts), you can utilize the Automatic Coordinated report feature in the pdf painter. This should resolve your issue "out of the box"

from dev studio help see creating reports with graphical tools , chapter 9 ,creating compound layout,create a compound coordinated report

Actually since sounds like a good application for the Coordinated Compound Document. This is built with the PDF Layout Painter. All objects must have the same high-order sort field, in your case, account.

You can find documentation on this in Chapter 8 of the "Developing Reporting Applications with Graphical Tools", wfappsgt.pdf.

WF, I didn't mean to post on top of you. It took me a few minutes to look up the doc reference.

At least we were thinking the same thing.

Eran and Ginny,

Thanks for the replies. It was very helpful. I have one more concern that I can't find in the documentation. Using the CAR file for e.g., if I do one report and one graph, sorted by country and tell the graph to do a new graph for each value of COUNTRY, each graph as all cars for all countries but only the sort current value of the sort is displayed. So, the report 1st page just has England. The graph has all countries but only England is populated. Same with page two and so on. I don't seem to be able to tell it to only graph and display values for the sort field on that page.

By the way Eran, I seem to remember SRL SWAT a few years back.

Thanks.............Steve

Check out the merge option. That doesn't make sense.

I have a demo one on CENTURYSALES I could send you if you provide your email address.

If you use the merged coordinated reports, be wary of missing keys, it will stuff up the report.
