| Abstract | As part of clinical trial reporting, large numbers of RTF/PDF outputs are created and at the completion of a major milestone in a study, we are often required by medical writers, clients, and regulatory agencies to combine all reports in a user-friendly file format document for easy delivery and review process. One solution is to combine them to a bookmarked PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Software. However, manually generating a PDF document from multiple SAS output files is a time consuming task. This paper presents an alternative efficacy method that use Java script for combining the multiple RTF/PDF documents into one bookmarked PDF document. A SAS built-in mechanism dynamic language PROC GROOVY which runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is used to quickly combine the multiple documents into one cumulative file. We have replaced the manual process by automating the ordering of multiple SAS outputs, and the creation of bookmarks within the PDF document. If needed, this script can be used independently. |
