We are working to better optimize our production of generating large files of transactional information. We presently create pdfs in batches of approx. 1,000 pages and merge all the batches together at the end, but wonder if this is really the optimal approach.
Would it be more efficient to add the backgrounds to the larger pdf of say 100,000 pages using maybe 15 different, variable, backgrounds? The caveat to running in this way is we would need something in the pdf: invisible text, page marker, maybe even using metadata to instruct the application what background to apply to which page.
We interested in final pdf’s optimization and file size moreover than production time, though both are relevant.
Do you have any recommendations?
