I have some experience in this area, so I need to ask the following questions:
1) Are your customers all receiving the same mailing? 2) If so, why can't your printing company accept an address list in excel format? 3) If not, what are the differences in the mailings? 4) Have you actually tried to product a 20,000 page mailing without using CF? Is your hardware powerful enough to handle it? This may be a futile effort to begin with. Give us some more details on this project.

We're looking at a situation where we've got to send a file to a vendor for printing in an automated fashion. They usually get PCL files from their customers, but they can also accept PDF documents. We're basically gonna produce these documents with barcodes for page sorting purposes, send the file to the vendor who will print, sort, collate, and mail them. And they need it in one file. We're talking about a mailing going to 3-4000 people, with 3-5 pages for each user, or a document of between 9,000 and 20,000 pages. I haven't really tried it yet, but I'm not sure coldfusion could handle creating a 20,000 page PDF document.
