Mikael,

OK, here is how you do it. Three steps. But, you will need the actual Adobe Acrobat 8.0. Maybe 7.0. Don't know. And, maybe other less expensive Acrobats or third parties will work -- heaven knows I must have 50 Adobe print drivers and at least ten readers. But, I can tell you it WILL work with the actual program. Pricey, but...hey.

You click on print entire chart. Yes, you're right, it doesn't do it. It prints out the summary and then it prints out the progress notes and messages, addendum, etc. Do NOT check the imported items button. In fact, in Amazing Charts, not clicking the Imported items button is probably always the way to go. So, once you bring up the print all chart window, click on preview or print. Personally, I like preview but that's just I. Browse to your pdf print driver (may as well use the expensive one by Adobe) and print the summary and notes to two Adobe files. So, now you have TWO pdfs. Now, go to the Imported folder for that patient. Do NOT try to print the 15 imported pdfs from the program itself. I would suggest actually making a shortcut to the ImportItems folder in the AC chart to your desktop.

So, you have the two files. You open the ImportItems folder from your shortcut and you browse to this patient by number, say 1078. Open it up and there will be your 15 PDF files you imported. Drag the first two files into the folder. Highlight them all blue. Right click on the entire set of files AND if you have the real Adobe, you will see a Combine supported files in ACrobat....Click this and you can make either one pdf or a really cool zipped file with a cover sheet. There you go. Three steps and one file. You save the new complete PDF to your desktop or wherever and the 15 files will still be there. You can delete the other two or leave them there...doesn't matter -- you won't see them in the chart anyway.

If you have any questions, please let me know or email me.

OR, you could just use File Assistant Pro instead of importing things. It's awesome and it's free. But, you would be the first <G>
