Split output by page count and max sheets per file

[Bob76]

Hi there,

Currently we are successfully producing output as Postscript files, split by document page count.

Something like this:
1P.ps
2P.ps
3P.ps
…and so on

Since some of the files are very large, we’d like to further split the output by max sheet count of 5000 so it’s easier to manage on the print side.

I know this can be achieved using the Separate by Count option in Output Creation but as soon as you choose this option, the original Separation Settings by Document Set are no longer available.

Ideally we would get something like this:

1P_1.ps (1-5000)
1P_2.ps (5001-10000)
1P_3.ps 10001-15000)
2P_1.ps
3P_1.ps

Is there any easy workaround for this? I appreciate your feedback!

One concern I guess would be that we would potentially be splitting document sets between two files. Perhaps splitting on max record numbers would be better or somehow only splitting on complete documents.

I should mention the reason that we are doing postscript files is for tray pulling capabilities.
