Description
The feature to print PDF Letters is really great. However, in some cases (especially with huge data sets) one pdf-file containing all the letters is not what you want. Examples:
- Lettershops or other service providers may require one file per contact/letter
- if there is only a single mistake, you have to re-generate letters fo all contacts
Requirements
- In the dialogue "Create Printable Letters" there should be an option to choose between "single files" and "one file"
- if you choose "single files" a zip-file containing single pdf-files per contact should be created instead of one large pdf-file
- [optional] The zip-file contains one sub folder per "number of pages" and the pdf-files are sorted accordingly
It would be acceptable for us (and maybe required) to use wkhtml to pdf. In that case a setting page to activate this feature may make sense.
Could you please make a rough estimate of the time required to implement this feature? Please do not put too much work into it - something along the lines of "1-3 days" or "5-10 days" would be sufficient for now.
