Hi,

I am having some problems trying to create PDFs and Print using large data files. I am using XML data files as input and PPImage to create individual PDF copies of the invoices. The XML file is structured as follows:

Code:
  
<INVOICES>
<INVOICE>
:
Invoice Data
:
</INVOICE>
<INVOICE>
:
Invoice Data
:
</INVOICE>
:
<INVOICE>
:
Invoice Data
:
</INVOICE>
</INVOICES>
The main XML file consists of many s objects, where each invoice object represents an individual customer invoice. I have set the XML emulation delimiter option to SECOND ELEMENT, so that 1 Data page will contain a complete single invoice.

I am able to process single XML files that consist of 500 individual invoices without any problems. However, if one of these invoices contains a very large sum of data, our printers print a PostScript error page with StackOverflow. And PPImage hangs. I tried to create a PostScipt output and then use Adobe Distiller to test the output, but Distiller comes up with the same StackOverflow error.

Is there a work-around for this stack overflow error ? Or is there a maximum limit (No of lines) that can be loaded onto a single data page ?

Any comments or suggestions will be grately appreciated.

Thanks
Roshan
