This is the only application I have where the user isn't even keeping track of
customers' email addresses yet!!!

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Is there a limit to PDF printing? That's another
terrific idea, I could set up a scheduled task to run the program once a month
in the middle of the night, great idea. I would have to have the user type in
all the criteria and store it in a lookup table (there's a few options, like
optional messages at the bottom, etc). I kinda like the idea of individual
PDFs too, named with the Customer ID so it would be easy to link to from a
customer form. Karen -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Is there a limit to PDF printing? Karen, My
recommendation is the individual statements. We print statements to PDF's and
they are stored on the server so we can always go back for them. Also the
statement program runs on the server at about 2AM on the last day of the month.
So much faster than the user pressing a "print statement" button. Jan

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Is there a limit to PDF printing?
I have an app that prints thousands of statements a month, and the program
hasn't changed much since 6.5 days. Each statement is calculated one at a time
and printed one at a time. Most of the time the computer will lock up during
the printing, which I assume is because RBase is printing so fast to the
spooler, and the network/spooler/printer simply cannot keep up with the number
of files waiting to print, and at some point RBase can no longer send jobs to
the print queue. Luckily I've programmed it so that the user can come back in
and easily continue where it left off, but it's a pain to have to do that.
We've tried building in "waits" after so many statements print, but the program
ended up taking like 6 hrs to run! And yes, believe it or not, they
aremailing the statements to their customers and have no wish to email them.
So I'm thinking of utilizing PDFs instead, and I have the choice of generating
1000s of individual PDFs (where the user can then highlight multiple PDFs,
right-click, "print" at their own schedule), or generating one huge multi-1000s
page PDF. I have never created that big of a PDF. Is there a reasonable
limit to the #pages RBase can print to a PDF file? Can someone tell me
thelargest PDF file they've ever generated? Thanks! Or if you have other
suggestions..... Karen --
