Hi Clifton, the type 3 stitching function in PDF is not what you believe it is. It is used for color transformation, not for stitching multiple PDFs together.
I have no problem generating 20k+ pages PDF documents with FOP as long as I separate individual subdocuments by fo:page-sequence. There can be problems if your individual page-sequences get very large. You may want to search the mailing list archives for "OutOfMemoryError" to get lots of tips to handle these situations. http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/faq.html#OutOfMemoryException http://fop-users.markmail.org/search/?q=OutOfMemoryError#query:OutOfMemoryError%20order%3Adate-backward+page:1+state:facets You may also want to look at the new intermediate format available in FOP Trunk which can help to concatenate multiple documents: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/intermediate.html HTH On 28.05.2010 22:40:46 Clifton B.
