Yes, there is a way to print multiple documents in one printing job, using

undocumented method TRVPrint.ContinuousPrint.

This example shows how to print one document consisting of two RichViews

(RichView1 and RichView2).

Printer.BeginDoc;

RVPrint.StartAt := 0;

RVPrint.AssignSource(RichView1);

RVPrint.FormatPages(rvdoALL);

RVPrint.ContinuousPrint;

RVPrint.StartAt := RVPrint.EndAt+60; // 60 pixels spacing between documents

RVPrint.AssignSource(RichView2);

RVPrint.FormatPages(rvdoALL);

RVPrint.ContinuousPrint;

Printer.EndDoc;
