PDF doesn't support a "streaming model", so you will need to produce the entire PDF before you can start printing it. However, if you know in advance the document is going to be large, you could produce it in "chunks" (smaller pieces) and then just printing each of those in turn.

The size of pdf with the statement of account(s) varies depending on the job input definition (a single account or a range of accounts): 1 page to 3000 pages. If the pdf is small it can be downloaded from the IBM host to the workstation and attached to a mail, etc. A very big pdf should only be printed. Saying that I am unsure how to start a print job without downloading the file to the workstation... any idea and further comments are very appreciated. Thanks again that you take time to support me.
