Greetings All, I've got Acrobat 4.05a. I have an FMP database that generates a multi-paged (from multiple layouts in about 8 data files) report that goes nicely to the printer. However, I'm really interested in saving trees, not to mention the time of the people who have to cut them down, process them into paper that we use here in the office to spend 4 hours a week generating these reports. I'm working on a way to get FMP to automatically generate these pages as postscript files that Acrobat can turn into .pdfs. Got that pretty much taken care of. Now... ...I'm having fun trying to consolidate about 20 different pdf files into 1 that can be readily e-mailed out, one over the proverbial world (or our piece of it). I've been toying around with Acrobats AS capabilities and noticed a few things. [1] They don't do a very good job of documenting their syntax. [2] There are calls that they don't list in their dictionary that seem to work better than the calls they do document in their dictionary. [3] Their sense of "English" leaves me a bit baffled. [Case in point....when they say "Insert". It apparently doesn't really insert pages. Rather it creates a link between documents. Or so it seems to me. Or am I mistaken?] Where can I find good examples of how they make their calls in Acrobat for AppleScripting purposes? Thanks, Chuck ------------------------------
