Kai,
I am afraid a cannot go further on advising you since I am not a heavy user
of pdf-maker.
Anyway are you using COMPOSE to evaluate data and surrounding them with
parens as Tim said?
>> Timīs code
;; Process records
foreach record records[
;; Use 'compose to evaluate the code and data
;; inside of the parens in the 'page block
page: compose/deep build-page record
;; append as a block
append/only document page
]
