Hi,
i have a vbscript to collecting a lot of pdf files (sorting by customer) to one pdf with a cover page (per customer).
There a 2 database queries with a loop but at the end the script is overwritting the output pdf and the result are only the last database entry.
------ Source Code ------
DateRevers = Right(Year(Date),2) & String(2-Len(Month(Date)), "0") & Month(Date) & String(2-Len(Day(Date)), "0") & Day(Date)
NewDate = Right(date,4)&"-"&MID(date,4,2)&"-"&Left(date,2)
' --- Erstellen der Datenbankverbindung
Set Conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.ConnectionTimeout = 120
conn.open "<databaseconnection>"
' --- SQL-Statement erstellen
SQL = "Select customerno,company,count(invoiceno) from invoice_manager group by customerno,company order by customerno"
Set RS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
RS.Open SQL, Conn, 3, 3
IF rs.BOF And rs.EOF then
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing
else
rs.MoveFirst
do while Not rs.eof
' -------------------------- PDF Cover
Dim QP
Dim FontID1
Dim FontID2
Set QP = CreateObject("DebenuPDFLibrary64AX0913.PDFLibrary")
Call QP.UnlockKey("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
QP.ClearFileList("DE")
QP.SetTempPath("d:\temp")
fontID1 = QP.AddStandardFont(4) 'Helvetica
fontID2 = QP.AddStandardFont(5) 'Helvetica bold
Call QP.SelectFont(fontID1)
Call QP.SetTextSize(25)
Call QP.DrawText(100, 550, "INVOICE PRINT OUT")
Call QP.DrawText(100, 500, date & " / "&time)
Call QP.SelectFont(fontID2)
Call QP.SetTextSize(35)
Call QP.DrawText(50, 400, rs(1))
Call QP.DrawText(50, 350, "No. "&rs(0))
Call QP.DrawText(50, 300, "Total invoices: "&rs(2))
QP.SaveToFile("de_print_cover_"&rs(0)&".pdf")
SQL1 = "SELECT [filename] from invoice_manager where customerno = '" & RS(0) & "'"
Set RS1 = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
RS1.Open SQL1, Conn, 3, 3
Call QP.AddToFileList("DE","de_print_cover_"&rs(0)&".pdf") ' add Cover Page to LIST DE
rs1.MoveFirst
do while Not rs1.eof
Call QP.AddToFileList("DE",rs1(0)) ' add single invoice pdfs to List DE
RS1.MoveNext
Loop
rs1.Close
set rs1=nothing
RS.MoveNext
Loop
Call QP.MergeFileListFast("DE","invoice.pdf") 'output file
RS.Close
Conn.Close
set rs=nothing
set conn=nothing
Set QP = Nothing
end if
---------------------
I have 4 entries in the database and the script creating 4 Coverpages but the ouput files contain the last database entry only - why ?
THanks for your help
Marcus

Marcus,
You will need to do some debugging. Make sure RS1 does in fact have 4 records selected. Add some debug statements to MessageBox ("de_print_cover_"&rs(0)&".pdf"); or similar. I am no VB expert. Are the filenames valid and unique ?
Check the return value of QP.MergeFileListFast to see if it returns 4 pages merged.
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
thanks for your post - i just found a solution for my problem. But on the other hand a have a new one.
If i create the cover pages with content from the data base in a loop the content on the cover are always overwritten. So the first cover pages was fine and stored, the second cover pages had the content of the first as well and so on...
Do you have a idea to clear the "memory" after QP.SaveToFile("de_print_cover_"&rs(0)&".pdf")
Thanks
Marcus

Hi
To remove from memory, after saving the doc, execute the following:
qp.RemoveDocument(qp.SelectedDocument)
Regards,
Antonio
