Printing some files
I am trying to find a good way for users to browse an office manual. They need to be able to search for content, view formatted (Word?, PDF?) docs and print them if they want. They also need to print groups of docs as well. What might be the best way to do this? Currently I'm using the MSWordDocument product, but I can't seem to add any more docs after upgrading to 2.4.0. I can print these one at a time and I can search them too, but the missing ingedient is to print bunches. -- Michael Montagne montagne@boora.com http://www.boora.com

If your server platform is windows it should work like this: +create a temporary directory in the filesystem +store all documents in that directory +A visual basic scripts glues the documents together +return the big document. An other solution would be that you write all files in a zope folder, which can be accessed by webdav. Then the user can open the folder with the explorer, mark them and print them. thomas
