Hi. Are you repeatedly using "open printing to PDF"? Craig

While it might start off printing say 14 reports per minute after a few minutes it's down to only 2 or 3. When you're printing 350 reports that obviously takes some time. I'm wondering whether there is something I can try to 'clear the pipes' every few minutes to speed the process up a bit? I've had some success in the past splitting the data up into batches and looping through one batch at a time but it would be great (or at least simpler) not having to do that. Any ideas? I'm on a Mac BTW, so I'm not sure whether this is a cross-platform issue. LC 9.0.5.
