Hi,
Is there a way for me to export multiple tables to the same pdf in a report-style format?

Put them into a spool object, then save the spool as PDF.

I have two follow-up questions:
1) How can I change 'object properties' using commands of objects in a spool. Specifically, I want to change the horizontal indent.
2) Is there a way for me to specify how individual objects within the spool are placed when printed to a pdf. For example, I want a graph to take up a pdf page by itself whereas I want multiple tables on a single page.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
BL

1) see the 'horizindent' command. From the docs
spool_name.horizindent object_arg size_arg
where object_arg is the name or the position of a specific object to which you wish to apply indenting, and size_arg is an new indentation in virtual inches.
2)You will need to put the tables into a sub spool. I would first add the tables to a spool and then add that spool to a parent spool. From there you can add the graphs to parent spool.
For example
Code: Select all
spool tab_spool
tab_spool.append table1 table2
spool parent_spool
parent_spool.append tab_spool graph1 graph2
When saving the spool to a PDF file, be sure you to set the 'Print Mode:' to Individual and that the 'Apply print mode to child spools' check box is NOT checked.
