Working with PDF input

Need a help to solve below logic and also wanted to understand logic or concept behind it.

 

Take input of n files. Render a PDF output such that each page satisfies the following requirements:-

(i)                  Each page should contain only a particular file’s data.

(ii)                Each page should contain a maximum of 7 lines of data.

Example:-

File 1- No. of rows = 5

File 2 – No. of rows = 10

Files 3- No. of rows = 15

 

Output

Page1- 5 lines of file 1

Page2- 7 lines of file 2

Page3- 3 lines of file 2

Page4- 7 lines of file 3

Page5- 7 lines of file 3

Page6- 1 line of file 3

               

                Ensure that the solution is dynamic enough to work on any number of files containing any no. of rows.

Hi @AshwinStark1993 

One method is to add a new field to specify the group and output as batch report.

the help document is quite detailed, and you can also refer to the examples that show how to achieve different outcomes with different settings

To get this new field, you can use a combination of recordID and multirow tool - there are many methods.

 

Cheers
