Usually it’s because the PDF contains a compressed image which is very large when decompressed. So the file isn’t big on disk, but it is in memory. Try using a 32-bit JVM as these use less memory. 1GB of heap is usually enough but you can go larger. — John --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
