Richard_Morrison Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I have a project that is VERY documentation intensive (CalGreen, T24, Tree Protection, etc. etc.), and I am anticipating maybe 15 - 24x36 sheets with multiple PDFs on each sheet. Has anyone successfully handled such a project without huge slowdowns? Or should I be looking at more firepower for this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I put the Cal Green stuff (PDF)on just about every plan I do, and they have been 20 plus pages total. Haven't seen any problems yet, but it does take a while to print. Sometimes, if you have Adobe Acrobat , you can reduce the file size by re-saving it using the reduce file size option. I don't notice any difference in quality and works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodCole Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I had a similar question regarding the number of PDF files that would be safe to use for 2D line drawing exported from other CAD programs and imported into Chief. I called tech support and was told that the real issue would be if you used very large files, not so much about having quite a few relatively small files. My files are actually fairly small and I have not had any problems so far. There is a lot to like about PDF files, but I am still curious myself as to whether there is some type of ceiling that one should try to stay below regarding both file size and the number of files in general.
