hi, wondering if anyone could let me know of a solution to generate 
and email PDFs to provide project participants with comments from all 
jury members relevant to the piece they submitted to the project. 
relationships are as follows:

JURIES (comments) -- AUDIO (composition) -- CONTACTS (composer / email)

everything works up to seeing the pages as i want them: project 
information in the header, CONTACTS::composer and AUDIO::composition 
info in a sub-summary layout part (sorted by CONTACTS::composer) and 
all juror comments in the body.  the layout.

i know how to name individual PDFs using the fileName variable, but 
can't figure out how to make it work in this context, because of the 
sub-summaries.

other email scripts i use work because they are done from within 
CONTACTS, where each record is one person/email.  i thought of doing 
it from a new layout in JURIES defined to "Show records from 
CONTACTS", but then i need a portal to show the comments, and the 
portal doesn't seem to recognize the sliding/printing options to 
remove empty space.  (i have to define the text area large enough to 
accommodate the longest juror comments).

any solutions would be appreciated.  hoping to avoid printing / 
naming /emailing the comments pages manually.

cheers,
jef
