PDF File link limit

Unread post by Ga Bowen »

Is there a limit to the amount of files I can embed in a pdf?

H+M falls over when publishing 200+ links.

Hi Gareth,

If you're embedding over 200 files in a PDF it's probably your computer that's falling over, not Help+Manual -- i.e. you're running out of memory. Even if it did work you'd be creating a Godzilla file that you really wouldn't want to have. If you need access to more than a handful of files don't embed them. 8)

The thing is the manuals I produce have 200+ pieces of literature with them.

It's easy to drag and drop them into a page, but if I had to individually link every file, I'd get nothing else done.
