pdf file that gobbles up RAM
Hello,
I came across poppler and specifically, pdftoppm through its use in Calibre.
Calibre uses pdftoppm to render cover pages of imported PDF files.
I've noticed that sometimes pdftoppm crashes and brings the whole system to a
halt when it cannot render some PDF files. It just gobbles up gigs of RAM until
it crashes or the OS kills it. Kovid, of Calibre, has told me that the
component at fault is pdftoppm and after looking at top stats, I can confirm
it.
The PDF file opens fine in all PDF viewers I've tried.
Thanks for looking into this and hope this gets fixed so it can go into
Calibre.
Thanks again.
