java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

[VinnyV88]

Hi,

Thanks so much for creating this utility!

I'm running into a memory issue when trying to merge a large number of documents into one. Specifically, I'm getting the error message:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded)

when trying to merge almost 9,000 pdf documents into a single pdf.

I know it really isn't an issue with your code, but maybe you can provide some insight on how to address this problem?

Thanks,
Vincent

Hi,

thanks @VinnyV88 , this package was intended to merge a small set of pdfs, but I can provide an option to set initial and maximum java heap settings if you want?

Oh, that would be great! Thanks! ⁣Sent from BlueMail ​

@VinnyV88 Released version 0.2.0 now, with maxHeap and minHeap options as third parameter. I'm quite busy with other stuff atm, so I havn't had the time to test whether merging 9,000 pdfs actually will work. Anyways, I released a new version for you to test out. I think I'll rewrite this package later this year with a better API, and some proper tests.

Thanks @bompi88! I'll test this out and let you know how it goes.

@VinnyV88 did you have the time to test it out?
