Topic: PDF printing gets stuck at 255 pages Posted: 03 Nov 08 at 2:22AM |
Hi
I'm trying to print as pdf a quite huge file that is 380pages long. For some reason redirect gets stuck at 255 pages. Is there maximum page limit in free version, or am I doing something wrong? |

Hi,
There is no limit with the Freeware version. First, I would check to see if there is anything odd or different with that 255th page. For example, is there a high resolution picture that might take a long time to process? Next question: what kind of computer do you have? Is it a modern (fast) computer? If not, it might just be that you have exceed the total RAM of the computer, and that Windows is using the hard drive to extend the memory. That works, but it can make things very slow. So, my recommendation (if you wait that long) is to wait 30 minutes to see if it completes the job - or not. Try printing page 255 by itself. Does that work? You can also try printing pages 1-254 and then 255 to 380. Both files will appear in the Merge List and are then merged together when you click the "Save" button. I hope these suggestions will help you. Best regards, |

Hi
Thanks so much! Printing it in 2 parts worked. Other than that computer was Dell laptop D510 with 1.5gb of ram. Not the fastest car in the track but should be able to do the task. |

Hi,
Thanks for the update. I am glad that you got it working, although not quite the way one would expect. I will continue to investigate through testing of my own. It sounds like my "large test file" could stand to be larger yet. Best regards, |

There isn't any actual pictures in the file, just text and tons of what you could call drawings those are made with Eplan, vectors mostly etc simple graphics.
