[reportlab-users] Numerous pdfs generation

[Fabian]

Yes, it's the 6M pages a day.

Concerning that need for such a high number of pages/pdf : I'm 
responsible for the development of the Direct Marketing module for 
OpenERP. OpenERP (formerly TinyERP) uses reportlab to generate documents 
(invoices, purchase orders, etc.) and until now it has perfectly fits 
our needs.
The client sponsoring the dm project is specialized in worldwide direct 
marketing (paper advertising) and the 300x20000 pages is an average of 
it's last month production. Each night, their actual system generates 
documents for around 300 marketing campaigns, with one pdf by campaign 
they manage and one campaign targeting around 2000 clients with usualy a 
10 pages doc. The 20000 pages/pdf is what we should achieve but they 
already had to produce up to 100000 pages/doc.
