RE: moving from continuous form to cut sheet. How do you bindyourreports?

Give the WFUTR's the pdf and let them do the printing and binding. Out of
their own budgets.

Either that, or charge them for the privilege of touching paper.

That battle has been fought and won for almost all documents.
We have moved most printing to PDF and spreadsheets. Most recently
we changed from EMAILING the reports, to creating a network structure
to store the reports in a common area.

The printing that is left is not due to ANY TECH. REASONS, only due to
the nature of the humans involved. :)

TRUE STORY: as we are flowing out the project to stop printing, on
about 20 reports we have the acronym "WFUTR" next to them. (waiting
for user to retire")

After "the war", we are left with just a few documents, one is 300 pages
printed daily (it used to produce 7 copies, now we only need one). This
may just need 3 hole punch, and in a binder. others are weekly and
monthly and some will work with stapling, but some are larger and won't
be able to be stapled.

Is it mandatory to have paper? Most of my clients have used software tools
from RJS or Help Systems to transform the reports to pdf and either email
them or store them in the IFS.

Initially we are moving to a HP9000, but we need to
find some binding solution before we implement.
I can't find anything other than stapling...
Some reports get over 1 inch thick.

What have others done???
