The size of the input file and the output file can create problems during the load process:
/SM590000The temporary space that is used during indexing can be too small and the load fails. 
/SM590000The maximum input file size that the PDF Indexer can process is 4 GB, but the 
recommended maximum size for a single document (after indexing) is 50 MB. If this size is 
exceeded, the system might run out of disk space or memory.
Create PDF data with the base 14 fonts, which do not need to be included in the PDF file. 
Because they are not included in the PDF file, they are not extracted during resource 
collection, which improves performance. For more information about the PDF data stream 
and fonts, see 7.3.1, “PDF fonts and output file size” on page 166.
13.4.2  Line data
Line data (ASCII or EBCDIC text-based reports) is the most common type of data that is 
stored in Content Manager OnDemand. The type of line data that we describe here is a 
special form of transaction-style report, where it is necessary to search on a value that 
appears on every line of the report. This transaction data has a transaction number that 
appears on every line and must be sorted either by column or row and either ascending or 
descending. 
When you index transaction data, if each transaction number from each line of the report is 
treated as a database index, such as date or customer name, the database becomes large 
quickly. Content Manager OnDemand has a special type of field for transaction data, which is 
illustrated in Figure 13-4 by the boxed data on the left of the window.

The transaction data field selects the first and last values from a group of pages and only 
these group level values are inserted into the database. Content Manager OnDemand 
queries the database by comparing the search value that is entered by the user to two 
database fields, the beginning value and the ending value. If the value that is entered by the 
user falls within the range of both database fields, Content Manager OnDemand adds the 
item to the document list.
