RE: printing linked information

Anything is possible if you throw enough resources at it.

I would quess your boss's boss's solution can be achieved with some
combination of SGML with data chunks stored in a database, plus some fancy
Framescripting to retrieve only the updated chunks and print them
automatically.

I'm sure several subscribers to this list would love to provide a quote for
such a system.

Subject: printing linked information


My boss's boss wants us to provide our clients with a PDF page that details 
the updates we made to a guide. That PDF page will include links to the 
actual pages that we updated.

He then said that he wants clients to be able to automatically print just 
the updated paragraphs/pages. "They should be able to make one click and 
print the appropriate pages," he said. Apparently, he doesn't think they're 
smart enough to figure out the appropriate page range to put in the Print 
dialog box.

I suggested that we create a separate PDF file of the updated information 
and let them print that, but that's not what he wants. Is there any way to 
do what he wants?
