I'm using FM 8 9. I have several small files (unstructured). I want to print
them to a PDF in a continuous flow, rather than having each file start on a new
page.
For example, if the first file stops half a page down, the next file starts on
the second half of the page.
Can this be done?
I think you are looking for frames. This site has good examples that you
can play with before implementing:
