Jonathan, You could use the cli tools to get all of the attribute data for models or just the specific attribute you are looking for, they provide some scripts to start from and parts of them are documented in the manuals. We have used those as well as using perl scripts with the spectrum modules from cpan. http://search.cpan.org/~plonka/Spectrum-CLI-1.016/CLI.pm
We also query the srm mysql database for model data but the data in srm is quite limited and you have to do all the filtering of data yourself, there is a good schema document on www.dachsug.ch though we use it for some other tools that feed off our model lists. Once you have the data in some text format you could use one of many createpdf programs free or paid windows or linux. The method Calvin explained would also work depending on your specific requirements and we have used that method and still do often. This is all in 8.1 Spectrum, not sure if much has changed with 9.0 regarding the cli but when we trialed this was pretty much the same although it seemed faster and finding the attribute numbers etc a lot easier and quicker in the oneclick client. If you need to automate something the cli/perl route is probably the easiest and we have had a bunch of success with it and really opens up Spectrum quite a bit. Let me know if you need some more pointers on possible solutions.
