Yes, I know about that, but I have to write universal mechanism, which will calculate page count of every document, even without those fo tags. Besides if I only need to count pages I don't have to render document to PDF or PCL - I wonder if there exists any moment in FOP rendering process

[OT] Windows spool file size

Title: [OT] Windows spool file size Does anyone know if the spool file size can be controlled, if at all? We use FOP to generate PDF reports and a 60KB PDF file generates a spool file 10 times that size on Windows. What does spool file size depend on? Thanks, Prabhat.

It can't really be controlled. PDF is a very compact format (it uses a lot of compression). When you print it on Windows a lot of so-called GDI (Graphics Device interface, I think) commands are generated which can be serialized as EMF files (enhanced metafiles). The printer driver converts GDI/EMF

you lost me there. I was with you till the GDI part. Is there an advantage to serializing GDI to EMF? It's probably elementary, but pointers to resources will be greatly appreciated. -Original Message- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 4:52 PM
