Retrieving large AFPs

[pankaj.puranik]

Hi

We are loading AFPs where each account may have 5000 plus pages.
During retrieval these accounts are converted to PDF using arf2pdf transform.

The resulting documents being large, the request times out on the webserver.

Is there a way to optimize the retrieval of such large documents so that only the first few pages are retrieved and as the user scrolls, more pages are retrieved.

Thanks
Pankaj.

Would your team consider giving 'power users' access to the thick client?

Hello Pankaj,

I will just start with an easy answer :-D, would it not be possible to have the AFP Plugin installed instead of converting into PDF?

As a more serious answer, have you considered looking at the "Big Object" option in the Application? I'm not really familiar with it, but it allows CMOD to "stream" pages, meaning you will receive X pages each time, which in turn could be converted (theoretically) in anything before visualization.

Sincerely yours,
Alessandro
