Need help with print or production to PDF of 1500+ documents in one package
Hi, our legal team needs to provide a hard copy package to a senior counsel for final review of documents before the case goes to court. We are being asked to print out 1500+ documents that have been reviewed/tagged in Clearwell. Here's the problem:
- Using the Print function to PDF within Analysis & Review a) results in a massive file; b) does not incorporate embedded objects into the parent, such as logos and text which are broken out from an email message to separate attachments; c) makes a mess of printing Excel spreadsheets, printing them across many pages; and d) prints out a lot of other information that is not required as extra sheets.
- Using the Production export to PDF is much better as the file sizes are smaller, it handles embedded objects as part of the parent, and seems to do a better job of printing Excel spreadsheets. However Production export to PDF produces one PDF file for each document. As you can imagine, this will result in 1500 PDF files or more!
I have contacted Symantec tech support and they haven't provided any other solution. I am surprised that this hasn't been requested already, it would seem to be a standard type of deliverable for Clearwell. Does anyone out there have a solution?
Thanks for your comments. Looks like there is no good solution. I'll mark this as solved even though it isn't.
