Re: Accessing a LARGE spool file

I recently had the same issue with several million pages.

IBM_i generated the PDFs file relatively quickly but the output was greater than 3 GB and could not be opened.

My solution was to break up the report into smaller files like chapters in a book, much easier to handle and print.

As this was an archiving exercise, I then used a simple spreadsheet as a index to each file using a hyperlink to open each chapter. Then adobe reader worked normally.

We have a 1.4 million page (yes, million) spool file, and only want to see the last two pages. You cannot enter a 5 and it appears that restarting with the second to last page does not work either.

Does anyone have any ideas how to print or display just the last two pages?

Thank you,

Doug
