Print Queues: Select based on number of pages per pdf

[natalieroberge]

Hello
I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to handle this. This is for our envelope stuffer. We are bursting our invoices by invoice number, so each pdf is a unique invoice. We need to determine which ones are over 6 pages as the envelope stuffer does not handle any invoice over this amount. Could you offer some guidelines on what to do?
Its difficult to determine the number of lines per invoice, as we print media objects and have a lot of conditional sections in the invoices. If we can find a solution after the pdf is generated would be wonderful

We are on E9.10 and using BI Publisher to develop the invoices.

Thanks!

Well there is a new data driven printer ability (depends on your release)

maybe.....you could work out in the UBE's DO section, where 6 pages is exceeded (line count or something??) and populate this new value you now pass into the BI bursting screen. If not over 6 pages use the default printer

That can then drive your printer.....?
