I am creating a quoting system for our sales team. Each product they quote has a specific quote page along with 1-3 specifications pages to go along with it. What I would like to be able to do is use a single data entry screen to allow the user to select the machine from a combo box, enter specific pricing for that machine, and then click a button to compile all the pages (seperate pdf docs) for that machine into a single pdf document. Currently, I have the data entry screen and all the pdf quote sheets in a single pdf document (35MB!!!!) which is to large for practical purposes, hence the desire to generate on the fly. Any suggestions on how to go about this?
I have heard of document level scripts, but unsure how to implement.

Go to the tutorials section of this website and do a search on "Folder Level" in the "JavaScript" category. You'll get 3 pages of results. Lots of it is info you'll need to write the script including a tutorial on inserting pages into a PDF, using the trusted function, and writing folder level scripts.
