Karen,
When printing invoices directly to PDF with the OPEN ON option, I found that somewhere after 15 PDFs Adobe would stop accepting additional PDFs to open. So I put some code in place to pause after 15, instruct the operator to print those, then click OK to print the next batch. I'm sure that if I wasn't using OPEN ON, R:BASE would have no problem printing the entire batch directly to individual PDFs. That creates a challenge, though, for the operator to actually get them all printed. And for invoices we must have individual files. Where all this is leading is your 2000-page PDF might be the best approach. The operator can experiment with printing page 1-300, 301-600, etc. and see what the optimal block of pages to print at one time might be.

A 2000-page PDF report! Now that's worth looking into! That would also give them one big backup document for later reprints.... Wheels are turning..... Karen Karen, Have you tried to print the entire batch, first as the PDF file with "OPTION PDF", and then print the pdf file? That should give you an alternative option to handle printer issues. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
