Hi all,

Regarding the slowdown of Paperless PDF form creation using Sage 100 Std - 2015 SP 2, after converting from MAS90 version 4.5.  (I believe this issue started in the 2013 version)

I realize this subject has been discussed on older threads.  I'm checking to see if anyone has come up with any new suggestions for improvement.  The old threads don't seem to go anywhere.

When we converted a client from MAS90 4.5 to Sage 100 Std 2015, we determined that creation of each PDF form went from about 4 seconds to around 7.5 seconds.  This may not sound like much, but it turns a 3 hour DD stub pdf process into a 6 to 7 hour process.  Although with version 2015, the PDF image does not display on the screen, there still is a significant delay between/during the creation of one pdf to the next.

Workstations are Windows 7 64-bit.  The Amyuni PDF converter is version 5.0.0.9.  We have the latest Crystal service pack.

After reviewing all the information I could find on this issue previously, the one improvement we were able to make was in the Crystal form for the DD stub.  We already had a pretty basic stub, using Times New Roman font.  We had a few fields that were Bold, Times New Roman.  We turned off the Bold and picked up about 1.2 second reduction in processing time.  I did try some other standard fonts like courier, but TNR seemed to have the fastest PDF time and the smallest PDF file size in the end.

If anyone has run across any new suggestions for speed improvement, we would greatly appreciate your contributions.

Thank you
