Page Limit

Users can limit the number of pages of content for PDF reports. The intent is to control the amount of memory used to layout and render the PDF file, but the feature is also meant to be convenient for users who do not want to run huge multiple-hundred-page PDF files.

There is a Maximum Pages combo box on the report edit dialog, on the Format Options tab, when PDF is selected as the output format. The selection is persistent for saved reports.

The setting for Maximum Pages is only an estimate designed to prevent excesely lengthy reports when they are not desired. Variations in the actual data reported on will cause the exact number of pages in the report to vary.

  • The limit for new reports is taken from the JawsProperties database table: client.report-max-pages-default, by default: 20.

  • The available options are taken from the property client.report-max-pages-options, by default: 10, 20, 50, 100.

  • When generating report content for PDF, the page count is estimated and when the limit is reached, a section is added titled: Report truncated due to page count after n of m sections.

  • The page limit does not affect HTML or XML reports at all.
