Title: Bulk Print of all Reports for a Given Folder or Folders
Post by: karmiller on September 25, 2008, 03:28:39 PM

We have a request, from a lawyer no less, to print hard copies of what could end up being several 100,000 reports from OnDemand.  Anyone have any ideas on how this can be done short of selecting the reports one at a time and printing them?  The report files are ACIF file type from an IBM mainframe using OD77 compression stored in OnDemand 7.1.2.3 multi platform on an AIX box.

Step 1:  Drag that lawyer, kicking and screaming, into the late 1980's, by showing him what we call a 'computer'.   ;)

Step 2:  Search for the documents you want to print in the CMOD Thick Client, and once they're in the hit list, then select the items you want to print, then click the 'Print All Selected' button to the right.

If your company is licensed for Adobe Acrobat, you might be able to spare a forest of trees and create PDFs that you could send on a CD.  I think the more modern versions of the PDF specification allow for rediculously large files with hundred of thousands of pages, if not millions.
