hoping to elicit input from Leonard but I have been fighting
a bunch of bloated web sites that impede automation lately and this
request sounds like it is headed down that path. Since I have
accused adobe of being a big offender in this regard, let me
supply some additional thoughts for comment for rebuttal.

So, what HUMAN will actually read this? Wouldn't you be better off publishing
something machine readable, maybe
some summary statistics and a zip file containing the database to let an
interested reader run his own queries and analyses on the DB? When is the last
time someone you knew read and understood 20,000 pages of accounting
information? Have you ever tried to open a 20,000 page PDF file on your home
PC, or even download one? You
could probably find a free DB to give to users and write a front end rather
than making a dead-end pdf file too big for anyone to read. You can
convert the account info to text or xml for that matter and combine
a db with a report generator. If you must generate a 20,000 page PDF, do
you plan on adding information to allow users to extract the numbers in
a useful format?
