I think you're right - the limit is just over 3,000 pages (and somewhere about 20mb). About two years ago I started SPLTOOLING our month end FIFO reports, which run about 3400 pages, and at one point they started getting corrupted. Brad said it was due to a limitation that Adobe has on how big a PDF and it depends on the amount of data on each page, etc. Since then, I have converted the FIFO reports to PDFs in two parts to work around the size limitation. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Wills [mailto:koldark@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 12:13 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: PDF Limitations? I have found that for SPLTOOL, there is a limit somewhere before the PDF gets corrupted. I am not exactly sure the limit, but I have hit it several times with PDFs over about 3000+ pages. I can't say exactly where the limit as I have never tried to find that out. Brad, what is the limit? Can you tell us? Is there a reason for it?
