Export multiple layer combinations to pdf

I need to print (or export, depending on how you look at it) multiple layer combinations to .pdf from Photoshop CC 2015

Example: Traveling Salesman. Contact info should be specific to branch location and sales person, but they could change often.

Layer Group1: Branch

Atlanta

Dallas

Phoenix

Portland

Layer Group 2: Salesperson

John

David

Beth

Lisa

Layer Group 3 is all of the components that make up the rest of the document. I want this group untouched.

Need a VBScript that will return all permutations of those two top level groups:

Atlanta, John

Atlanta, David

Atlanta Beth

Atlanta, Lisa

Dallas John

Dallas David

Dallas Beth

Dallas Lisa

on an on and on ...

Of course, if it were only 16 permutations, I would print them manually. But my real world example is 150. And the input info changes. So I need to be able to add/remove a few layers at a time and then generate a new batch of pdf outputs.

Can anyone help, PLEASE??

Have you given this a look-see yet?

Creating data-driven graphics in Photoshop

If it should not meet your needs (which does not seem unlikely) I would recommend you abandon VB for this task, use JavaScript instead and ask for help/advice over at

Photoshop Scripting 

And I am not making a judgement on the validity of VB here it’s just that most of the regulars on that Forum seem to prefer using the platform-independent JS.

And please provide more details, maybe even a (small) sample file to bette

And please provide more details, maybe even a (small) sample file to better illustrate the layer structure and the intended results.

Do you ultimately need x individual pdfs or one pdf containing all the permutations?
