Merging RTF files using SAS®, MSWord®, and Acrobat Distiller®

Abstract

Producing tables, listings, and figures (TLF) is one of the key responsibilities for programmers in the pharmaceutical industry. While SAS® Software offers a wide range of procedures to produce outputs in nearly all possible formats, collating multiple documents into an overall PDF file is not a trivial task. This paper will combine main aspects and show how you can implement this procedure within your organization. All you need is SAS, MSWord® and Acrobat Distiller®.
