Use Director and Bind with Createform Publisher License
I have a large TXT file that contains data by business unit (Major account).
I take this large text file and split the accounts so that all the accounts that belong to a specific person appear in their 3-char subdirectory.
WageBenifits.txt file is processed using director script. It takes each of the business units and splits the information and puts the individual text files in a subdirectory by person responsible as shown below.
AAP
WageBenefits_809123_AAP.txt
WageBenefits_810110_AAP.txt
REG
WageBenefits_810112_REG.txt
WageBenefits_810113_REG.txt
When I bind these text files back together I bind all the information for AAP and send him one email which sends the file in PDF format.
Instead of sending an email with a file attached in PDF format I want to publish this bound file in PDF file to a directory. How do I publish this bound file in PDF format to a folder and how do I give this folder file a proper name.
I want to take this information and put it all in one WageBenefits Published folder so the name would now be
WageBenefits_AAP_YYYYMMDD.PDF
WageBenefits_REG_YYYYMMDD.PDF
When I email it I first send the unbounded files to a Bind folder. I use a CEMAIL JTT and the file is defined properly as follows
WageBenefits_AAP_NNNNNN_YYYYMMDD.TXT
Once the files, in the individual person responsible folders, are bound together they are all emailed out together as one PDF
WageBenefits_AAP_YYYYMMDD.PDF
WageBenefits_REG_YYYYMMDD.PDF
I still want to send the unbounded files to a BIND folder. Instead of emailing the bound files back out I want to publish the bound output to a folder in PDF format.
When I try and publish the bound output, after bind process, to a folder all I get is
AAP.txt
REG.txt
What do I need to do with my Director script to make this work properly. We have Createform Publisher License and unlimited printers. What am I missing?
