Just wondering if anyone has reached an input filesize limitation with AFP2PDF. Is anyone currently using AFP2PDF to convert very large AFP files (2-3 GB) to PDF?
I am getting a core dump when this is attempted :-[ ::)
I would imagine you're blowing out the size limit of PDF documents. Can you get coredumps/traces from the conversion?
From which platform are you doing such transformation?
If you are on Windows, then since the AFP2PDF is in 32bit, then "maybe", you have reached a problem... which could not be there with the Linux/Unix version, which is 64bits.
Otherwise... no idea...
AIX 5.3 :(
did you check the "ulimit" ? maybe your have there some "limitation" on your user...
THANK YOU ALLESANDRO! I said this but its glad to see someone backs me up
whatever one that is (coredumps) isn't set to unlimited.
ulimit on coredumps only means you get bigger core files. It doesn't change how much memory is available to your process.
What other changes did you make to the limits?
none as of yet. Heres the current ulimits:
:user@aixbox:# ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 4194304
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 2097151
nofiles(descriptors) 2000
:user@aixbox:# ulimit -Ha
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 4194304
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) unlimited
try
ulimit -s unlimited
this is to put the STACK to unlimited... sometimes the stack limitation can cause such problem...
And change your coredump limit back to something reasonable like 10 or 20MB. You can accidentially fill a filesystem writing out core-dumps from processes that run out of memory...
Haven't made any changes as of yet.
