Tried searching the forums with no luck.. so sorry if this is a re-post.

I'm making a PDF from a FDF that is generated by our database here. The problem I'm running into is the size of some of the fields varies from entry to entry in the database.

Is there a way to define the field sizes dynamically. ie sometimes field1 may be over a page long, and others field2 may be over a page, or both.

I was looking into detecting the size of the fields prior to creation of the FDF then dynamically generating the sizes and number of pages for the final PDF.

Any advice appreciated
