Hi Anshul,

1. You can achive your first goal by specifying initial-page-number
attribute on the [first] page-sequence element of each volume.
2. "Generating the index for all the volumes in volume 1" automatically does
not seem to be possible if the source is chunked: there is no information
about placement of other volumes and chapters and their page numbers in the
source document of volume 1. Though you can always create an index manually.
If you do not chunk the source document, you can create an index
automatically, and then split the resulting PDF into several volumes. You
can get starting page numbers of each page-sequence from the output of the
Logger (printed to STDERR if XEP run from command line).

Best regards,

Hi,

We have the same problem. By chunking the document into the different
volumes we can guarantee the smooth printing. But we are facing couple of
problems.

1. Generating the page numbers in the volume 2 like (max of volume 1 +
page number of volume 2).
2. Generating the index for all the volumes in volume 1.

Can we achieve this by chunking the documents into different volumes?

Thanks,
Anshul Katoch

Hello Susan,

There is no explicit maximum number of pages hardwired in XEP. How
much pages XEP will be able to process defined by the complexity of
the document being formatted and amount of available memory. To the
best of my knowledge (and as Jim already pointed out) some of our
clients use XEP to format documents several thousands pages long
without any problems. Note also that chunking of big documents is also
a widely applicable strategy since it virtually removes document size
limit.

Cyc> Jim,
Cyc> Thank you for this as well. I'm looking at 6,000 pages, possibly as
Cyc> high as 10,000. But knowing your experience helps. If we have to
Cyc> split it up, 2,000-page volumes would probably work.

Cyc> Again, I appreciate your help.
