pdf file creation

["Partridge, Michael" <mi...@ebenx.com>]

I'm running fop .20.5rc2 from the command line, and my xml file has over
600 <invoice> elements to process. This job runs very quickly, but after
that I need to create a seperate pdf for each <invoice>. To do that, I
create an xml file for each <invoice> and run fop on each seperately,
but this is very slow due to process overhead. Is there any way to avoid
this?

No, not at the moment I'm afraid. This would probably involve adding a
proprietary attribute on page-sequence that tells the PDF renderer to
start a new PDF file. It may be easier to split the big PDF into smaller
ones using some PDF post-processing tool. If your invoices have variable
page counts you can use Driver.getFormattingResults() to obtain the
number of pages for each page-sequence processed.

You say it's very slow. You don't have to restart the JVM for each FOP
run, do you?

I hope this helps.
