Processing considerations and options
PDF generation is usually a lengthy process. If you have a large amount of information to process, set up several DocGen servers.
Consider the following:
- The amount of time it will take to create PDFs.
- The amount of disk space required.
The amount of time required to create PDFs depends on:
- The number of CRFs in the trial.
- The number of visits.
- The number of itemset entries, such as adverse events and lab data, entered for each subject.
- The length of the audit trails.
- Whether you suppress blank forms and visits.
- The number of computers that are used and the processing power of those computers.
