Hi Govinda, I use Flex to generate multi-page Avery 5160 on the *client* side, being fed with data from the server. Any server-side tech that can generate the plaintext is fine: PHP, WebDNA, doesn't matter. Basically I feed the XML of the mailing list data from the server into the client browser Flex application, and it in turn generates the PDF on the fly. End users need to have Flash installed, but hey, anyone who's ever watch YouTube has got that :) Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
