Okay. I have a randomly huge number of rows of data. I need to split the rows into 5 stacks, so we end up with, given 15 rows for example:
1 6 11 2 7 12 3 8 13 4 9 15
Wait. So this is because I need to impose a large number of rows of data, 5up on a larger sheet. I should think this through. I should do a test before I go to town. The base line way of doing it worked, all the way until it went to crap. I to a dummy file of 2.5M and made it 39M. This was for 50 out of 79k records or so. That won’t work.
I should relook at that API. Maybe there’s a different and better method to use. I should also look to see if I have any other tools that can do the same thing. While I’m doing that I’ll reach out to HP and OL to see if they have any bright ideas.
Or, if the test works, bully.
Update (ish):
I think I’ll need to go with the reading method due to the way or bindery wants prints like this. Otherwise, I’m looking at 70k x 50kb, soo… Is that 3.5g?
Now, that’s not to say I need to impose as in the way I’m thinking. That’s to say by creating a 5up Dutch cut file with the art in spades on the sheet. I just need to rearrange the data. One the single pages are created, I can then go back to the drawing board for imposing. However, I’ll be able to do infinitely tall stacks broken into multiple files.
Everyday my importer syndrome seems to diminish just a bit more.
