Maximum number of pages in Smartforms/Sapscript

[Former Member]

Hi

I have to print some very large invoices (between 1000 and 3000 pages) and it does not work with Adobe forms.

So I would like to know approximately the maximum number of pages that it is possible to print in Smartforms and Sapscript. And then if possible migrate my form.

Thanks for your answers

Hi Julien,

There is only a max page number assigned to a user profile, that means

you can restrict the max page number per user and printer.

There is a possibility to restrict the maximum number of pages printed

as described in Section '2.4 Output authorizations' of the following

SAP Note: 119147.

Using authorization object S_SPO_PAGE, you can define that users may

only print a certain page number range on certain devices.

To activate these checks the parameter: rspo/auth/pagelimit must be

set to 1 and you have to define an interval with leading 0s as described

in the Note.

Hi David

Thanks for your answer.

This check is already activated in my system.

Anyway, in my case, I don't want to restrict the max page number.

Printing is done by a job every night with an Adobe form. It works up to 1000 pages but after the process fails.

I came to the conclusion that Adobe forms are not designed to print very large documents.

So I would like to know if it's the same thing with Smartforms.

I think It should work with Sapscript but I would prefer use Smartforms.

Hi.

Did you find the page limit for smartforms ?

I'm trying to print a smartform and it seems that with more than 40 pages, the system is unable to generate the pdf file.

We opened an OSS message but SAP has not been very reactive on that issue.

Thanks for your feedback.

Regards,

Helder

EDIT : Solved. Memory issue. Not enough memory available to manage the otf_data. Increasing the memory solved my problem
