MultiPart Output
MultiMerge also enables the generation of traditional multi-part documents. These are documents where 2 or more variants of the same document are created from a single set of data.
For MultiPart processing, the form designer must create separate form layouts for each "part" of the document they require. These can be in separate DocOrigin xatw files (one xatw file for each "part"), or a single xatw where each page in the xatw represents a different "part".
MultiPart processing internally invokes DocOrigin Merge separately for each of the form files (or pages if there is only one form file specified). The command line -data, -config, -logfile and -mergeargs are all passed to each of these Merge runs along with the individual form definition of a single html "view". All Merge runs get the same options except for the -form option. The result of these separate Merge runs is then combined to create a series of multi-part documents written to the "-output" file name.
The specific type of output - PDF, PCL, Postscript - must be specified using the -action command line argument. See the Command Options to the left.
