Hi - I seem to be missing something here because I thought I have done this before. I have a pdf that can be 2-14 pages. The pdf’s are tax forms so I need to include a copy. So my pdf output could be anywhere from 2 pages up to at least 14 (depending on how many tax forms per person I have). So for example - I have a pdf with 3 pages (3 tax forms for the same person). I need to create an address page from the data on the first pdf. My output would then be 4 pages - address page and three tax forms. I cant figure out how to do this as right now (based on various setting in my template) I get three address pages or an address page for each tax form.
I tried using the pdf passthrough but might not it correctly as it doesnt seem to work like I thought it should.
Am I wrong in assuming that you have setup your Datamapper to load each tax form as its own record?
If this is the case, you need to setup your Datamapper to have all tax forms for the same customer in the same record.
Followin up on hamelj’s reply. Have a PDF DataMapper that splits the data per recipient. Subsequently create a section for the address page + plus three additional sections for the copies. For the Copies-sections you could set the background to the PDF DataMapper input. A page will be created for each page in the pdf.
You can even set an the page range for the section backgrounds. So for the Address section this could page 1 to 1 and for the Copies use page 2 to 999
