Karen, You could create a sub-directory as say IVyyyymm where yyyy is year and mm is month and put the data there. When you wish to clean up you only have to delete the sub-directory

Yes, this could grow into thousands of individual PDFs very quickly. So there would have to be some maintenance to throw older ones out (luckily they run just once a month, so only 12 "batches" worth a year). I'd have to think about how I could save the data in a table so that it can be recreated at any time... That would be a boatload of programming. I like Sami's idea of one indexed PDF file, but if they wanted to email just one page they would have to have the full version of Acrobat to extract a page to another filename, or I'm assuming R:PDFMerge would let them extract a page to a file.
