So, the Thanks for the reply, Unfortunately your solution wouldn't be appropriate for my situation, and re-reading my original message I should have phrased it better. Our wml essentially uses tags to delimit paragraphs eg. <document> <para>Some text</para> <para>Some more text</para> <para>Third para</para> </document> We serve up html pages and create pdfs from this wml with no problem as there is no limit on the file size with these formats. However, with wml there is essentially a 1397 byte limit so what I think I need to do is process each para until that limit is reached. Then, somehow, when the request for the next page comes in, I need to start at the paragraph where I left off. Any thoughts on where and how I could do this within the cocoon framework?
