Hi,

I am new to Zope and am trying to migrate an app that currently generates
FDF/PDF report files.  I am interested to hear how you are integrating Zope
and PDF.  If you have a minute or two, would you mind passing on a few words
of wisdom?

Many thanks

Eric.

// Hi:
//
// I've been using DTML successfully to generate around 20+ reports outside
// of zope itself.  The result come back from the DB as a pdf document.  The
// solution has worked well.
//
// It looks like there might possibly be a bug in the dtml
// totalling process,
// however, when dealing with larger numbers.  The results on one report are
// accurate for a 20 row table with smaller totals (say, e.g., 51518), but
// the larger totals are incorrect (e.g., it reports a number say in the
// 300,000 range rather than 1,378,835).  The DTML for that column
// (the TOTAL
// column) is:
//
// <!--#var total-TOTAL fmt="%15d"-->
//
// Has anyone else seen this? The version of DTML I'm using is from the last
// quarter or so of last year.  Any ideas?
