Hello Francesca,
All I can say is that big PDFs will use more space :-( And large images
in PDFs will be a pain. The problem is that internally, all is converted
to RGB. If you're writing an inbox processing application, the best
would be to set an arbitrary size limit on mails. And send people who
can't user their MF copiers a boilerplate mail telling them what to
change so that they don't send a 2400dpi image in a PDF.
Btw, the "new, improved" ImageIOUtils has already what you do with TIFs.
And there's more: if you render into TYPE_BINARY images, it will create
G4 compressed files, which are even better than LZW compressed files. (I
have an application that checks whether the colors are only b/w, and
then renders again, just to use that feature)

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I have tried setting the --Xmx value to 1024M and for the one PDF it
works now.
I first only increased it to 512M which had not the desired effect for
this one PDF. I tested it with different PDFs roughly the same size
(or larger) and it worked fine for them.
Therefore just a small follow up question -- do you have any
recommendations concerning memory settings?
I want to see how much memory I need to configure for the PDFs I have.
What will cause the conversion of certain PDFs to be more memory
consuming than others although they have (roughly) the same size and
same amount of pages? It would be very helpful to know so I can
optimize my testing and see if I can identify PDFs which are more
memory consuming and increase the memory on the customer side based
on the findings during testing.
Thanks again J
Kind regards,
Francesca
