Josen,
Your link would hit an action page that would pull up the report. One thing
I would strongly recommend. Have your link open a new window. Depending on
the browser it can/will get stuck in the pdf. A huge annoyance.
Here is a quick example of how the action page works...Hope it helps
<!---Sets up a random number so each pdf will have it's own unique name at
the end. If data doesn't change/you delete them immediately you don't need
to do this. --->
<cfset Rnum=#randrange(100000,999999)#>
<!---Create toolkit com--->
<CFOBJECT ACTION="Create" TYPE="COM" CLASS=APToolkit.Object NAME="Tlkt">
<CFOUTPUT>
<!---Name of "finished/merged" pdf- can be whatever you want- mine ends with
the random number--->
<CFSET R =
Tlkt.OpenOutputFile(ExpandPath("../PDFForms/Schools#Rnum#.PDF"))>
</CFOUTPUT>
<!---PDF Template that is made/used. All boxes on this pdf have been coded
to coincide with my query output--->
<CFSET
R=Tlkt.OpenInputFile(ExpandPath("../PDFs/SchoolsPDFTemplate.PDF"))>
<!---Setting up query output to go to pdf--->
<CFOUTPUT QUERY= "SchoolData">
<CFSET SCHNAME=Tlkt.SetFormFieldData("SCHNAME","#SchoolData.NAME#", 0)>
<CFSET PRINCIPAL=Tlkt.SetFormFieldData("PRINCIPAL",
"#SchoolData.PRINCIPAL#", 0)>
<CFSET SchADD=Tlkt.SetFormFieldData("SchADD","#SchoolData.ADDRESS#", 0)>
<CFSET SchCIT=Tlkt.SetFormFieldData("SchCIT","#SchoolData.SchCIT#", 0)>
</CFOUTPUT>
<!---Close up the forms/reset fields for next time--->
<CFSET R=Tlkt.CopyForm(0,0)>
<CFSET R=Tlkt.ResetFormFields()>
<CFSET R=Tlkt.CloseOutputFile()>
<CFSET Tlkt="">
<!---Open actual pdf for user Note this is same as the OpenOutputFile name,
except has the complete location. I use a request.pdf because I don't want
the address hardcoded --->
<CFOUTPUT>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;
URL=#Request.PDF#PDFForms/Schools#Rnum#.PDF">
</CFOUTPUT>

Subject: Active PDF?
I just purchased active Pdf and am having a rpoblem figuring out how to
merge pdf docs together. I have contacted support and after three days they
still have not helped me.
Basically I have document names stored in a database. I want to pull those
names and merge, then show a link to the merged document where the user can
view it.
Can someone post some code demonstrating this?
Thanks,
Josen
