Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 84517
Exporting in PDF is almost 50 % longer than before
Last modified: 2008-01-25 11:10:00 UTC
We've constated an important loss of performance while exporting some of our documents to pdf with version 2.3 compared to version 2.0.4 that we used before. Sometimes it can reach more than 50 % of augmentation. Is there anything we can do to decrease the duration of this process or to optimize it? Are there some optimisations already scheduled on this point? Thanks for your help
Please provide more details: - On which platform? - Which kinds of documents got so much slower? With a lot of text? With a lot of bitmap graphics? With a lot of vector graphic? With many different fonts? - Did the resulting PDF size increase too?
Here are the details: - Platform : constated on both Windows XP & Solaris 5.8 (ultrasparc). - Kind of documents: * 737 KB ODT, 848 pages of text, 3 fonts, some bitmap images. PDF size for the version generated with 2.3 : 3.83MB (we've lost the files generated with the older version... If it's necessary we might try to regenerate those). * 383 KB ODT, 569 pages of text, 3 fonts, almost no images. PDF size for the version generated with 2.3 : 2.82MB * 326 KB ODT, 526 pages of text, 3 fonts, almost no images. PDF size for the version generated with 2.3 : 2.65MB. Thanks for your help.
Please also contribute your complete PDF export settings for 2.0.4 and also 2.3! Please attach sample documents: - ODS source document - PDF export with 2.0.4 - PDF export with 2.3.1 If the files are too big to be attached here, pls. send by email to me! I did a quick test with a 30 Pages technical documentation (.odm with various images) and can NOT confirm this problem: - "2.3.1 Multilingual German version WIN XP: [680m9(Build9238)]": 445 KB - "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]": 481 KB Another test with a 42 Pages private letters (.odt 61 MB with various detailed images) and can NOT confirm this problem: - "2.3.1 Multilingual German version WIN XP: [680m9(Build9238)]": 5.987 KB - "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]": 6.505 KB My suspect is that spiralyoda uses different settings in 2.0.4 and 2.3.1. So I close this issue WFM No defect, ENHANCEMENT at the best @spiralyoda: Please check your PDF export settings! This is no help desk, please contact a mailing list where you can ask for help. Please feel free to reopen this issue if you can provide an informative basis that conatains concrete hints concerning a problem with OOo
.
spiralyoda: between 2.0.4 and 2.3 several additional settings came in; perhaps you have selected one of them ? Relevant settings e.g. are tagged PDF (which if selected would increase document size as well as processing time). Another thing which comes to mind is that with large documents it might be that memory consumption during PDF export grows into a region where the process gets into memory swapping, you could check this e.g. with the "top" command and see whether swap space used increases notably during export.
