Hi All, I've got a bit of a tricky one I'm hoping someone can help me out with... Each month our company produces about 50 individual PDF's for products. What I need to be able to do is print each of those PDF's x number of times to match an individual customer order for that product. e.g. Customer A orders 5 units of product X, 9 units of product Y and 3 units of product Z. Customer B order 2 units of product X, 5 units of product Y and 8 units of product Z. etc etc for about 300 customers. At the moment we're doing this pretty much manually which is rather time consuming and I'm sure there's a way to automate this. I thought of 2 ways to go about this - either some sort of script which reads quantities and file names from a spreadsheet and merges them into a combined PDF with copies of pages to suit the quantities required OR As above, but printing directly to hard copy the required quantity based on the filename (which is in the same document as the quantities). Has anyone come across a similar problem before? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - I'm sure commercial print houses must have some way of doing something similar to this. Thanks Daz
