Thanks Tristram,

This should work for most people, but I am creating a reporting application that needs to be deployed as a compiled standalone. 

I tried bringing in the various eps2pdf m-files and ghostscript files to the Matlab compiler but it fell over.

If anyone has any more ideas on exporting multi-page PDFs directly from Matlab without resorting to eps shenanigans that'd be great.

Cheers, Rich

PS I thought all of the Report Generator toolbox functions etc were already available on the command line as function calls? That said I've not used it much, but I think there's a way to expose the m-code that the report generator automatically creates.
