Hello --

I am looking for a way to dynamically generate PDF documents - combining
Crystal Reports and data driven "fields".

For example, I have a template that's essentially a summary document and I
would like to populate certain fields with client names and account data.

Also, I would like to make a "master" PDF that contains all the PDF
summaries in one document -- and use bookmarks if possible.

Can this be done, and are there any examples?

Any advice, tips, and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
 
Thanks for the response. I checked it out briefly - it doesn't look like
there's support for using Crystal templates? Can it be used to create pdfs
in "batches" -- I need to create several hundred ~thousands of PDFs at
once....

Thanks again - I'll look it.
 
Depending on the version of Crystal and if you are programattically
controlling the creation of the report, which I believe you are, Crystal has
an object for printing to a PDF file, or at least they used to for version 8
and 8.5. We no longer use Crystal but I recommend you search the
CrystalDecisions.com Knowledgebase for PDF's.
