Hi Stefan, Thanks for your support, people have worked hard to give you that "warm fuzzy feeling", so it's nice to know that work is appreciated.
As for your FO, you need to provide a little more information: 1) Tables in the FO tend to consume quite a lot of memory, especially when they span multiple pages, are you using them for laying out the documents? 2) Fonts take up more room than they really should; are you using custom fonts? Are you embedding fonts? Those are the usual culprits that come to mind (though others may wish to add to them), if you can upload the FO, then someone will take a look at it. Hope that helps, Mehdi On 24 October 2012 19:49, Stefan Hinz <stefan.h...@oracle.com> wrote: > I like FOP 1.1 a lot: Unlike previous versions, it tells you which page > it's processing, which can make debugging easier, and also it gives you > that warm fuzzy feeling that you're somewhat in control of things. :-) > > However, with really big books, I'm hitting a wall, like this: > > Okt 24, 2012 8:21:16 PM org.apache.fop.events.**LoggingEventListener > processEvent > INFO: Rendered page #2630. > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit > exceeded > > That is, FOP stops at about 2600 pages with an out of memory error.
