Yep, still alive and kickin'....

I'm working up a proof-of-concept thing to add to our report writing

engine, that being the ability to export our text based reports into a PDF.

I know how to do the FDF creation part of this (thanks again Ted) but I

seem to be coming up short in a couple of areas.

I am using LibreOffice to create my PDF template file, and not sure if the

problem lives in there or not. I add a textbox control to a document, save

as PDF, and later the FDF merge works just fine. BUT if the text starts

getting any longer than what fits into the textbox as I've laid it out in

the PDF, scroll bars appear and the textbox doesn't expand. I'm not saying

it *should* do so automatically, but I can't figure out how to do that or

even if it's possible.

Or, is there some other control available to LibreOffice I might try using

that lets me FDF merge in files of large size?

In a perfect world there wouldn't be any control visible to the user at

all, just the text of the report.

Some of our reports can be several thousand pages for Year-End stuff and

all that...

Installing any software such as CutePDF or other to help drive this isn't

an option at this time.

TIA,
