NPrinting separate PDFs for each Excel sheet

Is there a way to create a separate PDF for each Excel sheet in a report? I've used Pages to create multiple Excel sheets, but when I run the report, I'd like to create a different PDF document for each sheet. I'm using NPrinting 17.2.1 linked to Qlik Sense.

If you are sending those pdfs out then this is the best scenario - you can send emails instead of saving to disk. If you are just saving to a directory then cycling will save you the trouble with maintaining recipients.


I guess those who know about the features are under NDA.

Any updates to being able to create a PDF for each tab in an excel file? The last post here was from 2016.

1. Within your NPrinting report, decide which dimension value you wish to use for each tab, right click on 'page' and select the dimension that you wish to use

2. You will notice that the dimension tag now appears in your excel sheet

3. Preview your report.

The output may generate several pages of PDF output based on your data

Btw,

if you want a separate PDF per dimension value, use the 'cycle' feature. 

In this case I also cycled for 'Year and got 3 PDFs. One for each year.

Thanks, I need to cycle and create a PDF for each Provider ~1,300 for each specialty. Or at least I was going to try. I have now decided to go a different route, but thanks for helping to update this question. Much appreciated!
