Hi Craig, We are in the process of archiving our invoices. What we do is to create select lists for each year that we want to archive. One list for delivered sales and one for cancelled sales. We have a program that we run, which we have tailored to ask for the name of the select list to use, how many invoices to insert per pdf, and what to name the files.
An example of a 'run' might be a select list of 13751 records that we break apart into 1000 invoices per pdf. This will create roughly 14 pdf files as follows; -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 838683790 Oct 27 17:27 2001C10.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 838683910 Oct 27 17:31 2001C11.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 838683973 Oct 27 17:35 2001C12.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 838684078 Oct 27 17:39 2001C13.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 456176662 Oct 27 17:42 2001C14.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 481813781 Oct 27 16:51 2001C1.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 668667955 Oct 27 16:54 2001C2.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 951514139 Oct 27 16:58 2001C3.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 944474386 Oct 27 17:02 2001C4.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 944474404 Oct 27 17:06 2001C5.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 944474552 Oct 27 17:11 2001C6.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 944474342 Oct 27 17:15 2001C7.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 875157293 Oct 27 17:19 2001C8.PDF -rw-rw-rw- 1 anthony anthony 838683793 Oct 27 17:23 2001C9.PDF As you can see, the files are pretty large for the content of the pdf. Anyway, I ftp these files to my PC and bring up Acrobat 7.0 Professional and do a tools, print production, pdf optimizer. This utility is able to cut down the size of the file drastically. For example, a file of 909,425KB is shrunk to 2,714KB. Now, for the question. Is there anything I can do to improve the efficiency ? I have a feeling it has to do with embedded fonts. If so, is there a way to place the embedded fonts in the file only one time per file ? I believe the lineart is in the file only one time. Any suggestions or enlightenment would be appreciated.
