Filedef the big guys
(OP)
Hi! I am trying to filedef something similar to the below. I am however not as familiar with the filedef method as other methods. I would like to know:
1a- how to filedef compound documents because the below runs a little slow (surprise surprise), possibly in a loop for different areas (to get a file &area1.pdf). I would like to place these files on the server
1b- How to get to the filedef'd &area1.pdf (&area2.pdf, etc) once on the server.
I apologize for the huge question here, but this fex takes a bit over 30 seconds to run on a good day when the server isn't busy.
SET COMPOUND=OPEN NOBREAK
EX APP/prog1
SET COMPOUND=NOBREAK
EX app/prog2
EX APP/prog3
SET COMPOUND = NOBREAK
EX APP/graphpg1
EX app/graphpg2
SET COMPOUND=CLOSE
EX app/graphpg3
-RUN
-INCLUDE APP/mesgtxt
-EXIT

Is there a way to put all of the graphs into 1 "graphpg" pdf generating fex and have them start new pages instead of running down and off the bottom of one page? I notice that generating a 5 graph pdf page can take 6-12 seconds (depending on how much cpu is being used at the time). Is this the graph->gif conversion taking up time?
Thanks again for the information so far. I'll keep trying to reduce the time on this.
