An interesting bit of synchronicity, Lou - one of my clients does the same thing. For every client who wants the whole thing, I think there's about three who use the simple format. Both use FOP to produce a PDF, but the results and processing times are very different.
Often, negotiating with your end users (explaining the situation and offering some choices) both gets one out of a tough box and gives the users some choices they like.

One thing we do is offer the customer two report outputs: PDF and something called PDF Simple. PDF is the regular report that has a single page sequence and can consume a lot of memory. The simple output is the same report, but we break the page sequences every n number if lines. It does result in some "half populated" pages, but the memory and speed improvement make it worth it to our customers. -Lou Andreas L Delmelle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 07/11/2007 01:09:29 PM: > On Jul 11, 2007, at 08:21, Daniel Noll wrote: > > Hi Daniel > > > On Tuesday 10 July 2007 02:32:30 Andreas L Delmelle wrote: > >> Not really.
