Control the print production by specifying how many pages are generated per VDP record for a non-PDF/VT document.

Description

Control the print production by specifying how many pages are generated per VDP record for a non-PDF/VT document.

You must use this setting when the document is not generated according to the PDF/VT standard. A non-PDF/VT document does not contain information about the VDP records. You must define how many pages of the document belong to one record. For example, the document contains 1000 pages. You define "oce:PagesPerRecord" = 2. This means that the document is generated by using 500 records. The information of each record is used for two pages in the document. With this information, the print production can be controlled. For example, show record info on LUI, record range printing, stop on record boundary, etc.

The number of records in a document is known when the document is generated according to the PDF/VT standard. In this case, you do not need to use this setting.

NOTE

The normal priority rule "Ticket settings overrule PDL settings" does NOT apply to this setting. Records found in the PDL(PDF/VT) always overrule the default record size.

Remark

This settings is supported only for Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE).
