Let me clarify one point regarding this post. It's not the number of pages, but I believe it's the size of the PDF. The average size on disk for these PDFs can be 700MB or larger for 27,000 pages. This is due to the method in which the PDF's are generated (Xerox MetaCode to PDF conversion). So there's a lot of embedded Type3 fonts, full page images, etc within the content.
