PDF Notes Domino

A function called DomPDFMerge allows you to merge existing PDF files together.

For example;

Declare Function DomPDFMerge Lib "DOMINOPDF.DLL" (Byval szInput As String, Byval szOutput As String) As Long

Call DomPDFMerge(sInput, sOutput)

Alternatively, just pass both URL's to DominoPDF (separated by a semi-colon) and you'll get a single PDF file output.

If you need to process a large number of separate URLs or files then the LotusScript method may truncate your input. It is possible to call the DoPDF method in a loop to create separate PDF files for each input. Then merge the resulting PDF files into a single PDF with the DomPDFMerge method.

However another way of handling a long list of input values is provided by DominoPDF. The list of input values can be written to a file with an extension of *.domp and when this is passed to DominoPDF each item is processed in turn and output to a single PDF.

LotusScript can be used to write the values out to the file as in the example below.

Sub Initialize
Dim fileNum As Integer
Dim fileName As String

fileNum% = Freefile()
fileName$ = "c:\data.domp"

Open fileName$ For Output As fileNum%
Print #fileNum%, |http://www.google.com|
Print #fileNum%, |http://www.primeapple.co.uk|

Close fileNum%

Call DoPDF(|c:\data.domp|, |c:\test.pdf|, ||)
End Sub

Call DoPDF(|http://localhost/names.nsf/Home?OpenForm;c:\data.domp;c:\disclaimer.pdf|, |c:\test.pdf|, ||)
