I solved this today, by using another aproach.
First I calculate the number of employees (which may vary of course).
Then I merge the same "template.pdf" twice into a new document.
I repeat merging until I finish with the desired number of pages.
Then  I traverse through the database and  write each employee data on separate page.
Works perfect.

Regards

Please provide more detail about what you intend to do with the final document. ]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 17:46:03 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/page-cloning_topic702_post3398.html#3398 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/page-cloning_topic702_post3395.html#3395 Author: Boris

Hi,
The problem I am trying to solve all day today...

I have a database with some number of employees. let's say 2 employees.
I also have a "template" PDF which is used to enter some data about each employee, and these data I read from the database.

What I do is first I load the "template". Then I count how manyemployees I have (in this example I have 2 employees only). Next, ICLONE the first page of the "template" PDF by number of employees, thisway I practicaly finish with the document having 2 pages. All of themthe same.

Now I jump to the FIRST document page, and  traverse through thedatabase and write each employee data on the separate page. And thispart is the problem.
The first page contains the data only for the FIRST employee.
But, the second page contains data fr FIRST employee and ALSO the data fro SECOND employe!!??

Seams to me that when we clone the pages for example we clone the FIRSTpage, whatever we later write ont the FIRST page is automaticalywritten on this page CLONE ALSO!?
I suppose this is why I got on the second page the data for the FIRSTemployee, and on top of this data the SECOND employee data are writtenalso....

Basicaly what I need is:
1. Load the template
2. Clone the first page as many times as the number of employees in the database
3. Start writing data from the database, first employee data goes on the page 1, second employee data on page 2 etc...
4. Saving the document under the different name.

Please, give me a hand about this issue, it prevents me from finishingthe project and I feel it is something trivial which I am mislookingall the time...

regards
