Our shop packets consist of the Vantage job traveler and 10-12 associated
documents (setup sheets, multiple drawings, QC sheets, etc). We set these
up in associated documents and had Epicor write a custom program to print
them with the traveler. It didn't work as expected, since it left multiple
windows of Word and Excel open for every document. Converting all of the
documents to PDF's looked promising but Adobe didn't print consistently over
the network.

Thanks to Ted Kitch at Misha 1, we solved the problem. He found a PDF
Printer Shell tool that prints all of the files with the Epicor custom
program. Now you release a job, check the box that says "print related
documents" and the entire 12 page shop packet prints. Staple it an you are
ready to go. No more making copies of drawings, set up sheets, QC sheets,
etc. Maintaining the files is easy and PDF's eliminate any ISO concerns
over document control.

If you are interested let me know and I'll post all of the gory details.
Right now I'm throwing rocks at it to see if it breaks. Looks good so far.
The only drawback is the PDF shell needs Win2000 or higher. I'll have to
upgrade some Win98 machines.

Thanks again Ted.

Mitchell,



I would love to be able to print all attached documents from a button. Can
you give me the information offline?

Our shop packets consist of the Vantage job traveler and 10-12 associated
documents (setup sheets, multiple drawings, QC sheets, etc). We set these
up in associated documents and had Epicor write a custom program to print
them with the traveler. It didn't work as expected, since it left multiple
windows of Word and Excel open for every document. Converting all of the
documents to PDF's looked promising but Adobe didn't print consistently over
the network.

Thanks to Ted Kitch at Misha 1, we solved the problem. He found a PDF
Printer Shell tool that prints all of the files with the Epicor custom
program. Now you release a job, check the box that says "print related
documents" and the entire 12 page shop packet prints. Staple it an you are
ready to go. No more making copies of drawings, set up sheets, QC sheets,
etc. Maintaining the files is easy and PDF's eliminate any ISO concerns
over document control.

If you are interested let me know and I'll post all of the gory details.
Right now I'm throwing rocks at it to see if it breaks. Looks good so far.
The only drawback is the PDF shell needs Win2000 or higher. I'll have to
upgrade some Win98 machines.

Thanks again Ted.

Hi Ted,

Yes, Please share the details... especially the costs of doing this. This
type of option has been on my requested enhancements since we started with
Vantage. Too bad they don't make this standard issue. It would give
document management alot more bite for the money. My 2 cents.

Thanks for sharing,

Our shop packets consist of the Vantage job traveler and 10-12 associated
documents (setup sheets, multiple drawings, QC sheets, etc). We set these
up in associated documents and had Epicor write a custom program to print
them with the traveler. It didn't work as expected, since it left multiple
windows of Word and Excel open for every document. Converting all of the
documents to PDF's looked promising but Adobe didn't print consistently over
the network.

Thanks to Ted Kitch at Misha 1, we solved the problem. He found a PDF
Printer Shell tool that prints all of the files with the Epicor custom
program. Now you release a job, check the box that says "print related
documents" and the entire 12 page shop packet prints. Staple it an you are
ready to go. No more making copies of drawings, set up sheets, QC sheets,
etc. Maintaining the files is easy and PDF's eliminate any ISO concerns
over document control.

If you are interested let me know and I'll post all of the gory details.
Right now I'm throwing rocks at it to see if it breaks. Looks good so far.
The only drawback is the PDF shell needs Win2000 or higher. I'll have to
upgrade some Win98 machines.

Thanks again Ted.
