Fabrizio Thanks. Exactly what I needed. Previously the memory grew to about 330Mb over 3 minutes, now it hovers at about 13Mb for that duration. Its interesting to see that the XSL-transformation (using XALAN) uses more memory that the actual redoring (Using FOP). Getting FOP to do the whole thing increases the usage to 35Mb.

John, sorry to not explain myself, I had increaed the stack and heap sizes, while this puts a band-aid on the problem it doesn't fix the underliing issue, I looks like this is fixed now though using Fabrizio method. Thanks all. --- BRETT FLEETWOOD Analyst/Programmer -----Original Message----- From: Fabrizio Tringali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 12 March 2004 10:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: using multiple page sequences Hi Brett, It's not about "faith", spanning datas across multiple page sequences brings an huge memory saving. We solve issue of constant OutOfMemory errors (according to heap allocation) going to about 2 MB memory consumption on fully written 100 pages documents. You have to identify where in your document could be inserted a page break or decide to break intentionally after N rows of datas (1 record on your XML file can be M rows on document so M*N is the total rows on document) In the second case put logic for break when ciclying your datas templates using something like this ($STOP is max number of data rows for page): <xsl:for-each select="DATA_ROW[position() mod $STOP = 1]"> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="YOUR_MASTER_REFERENCE" initial-page-number="auto"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="480pt"> <fo:table-column column-width="85pt"/> <fo:table-column column-width="15pt"/> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row line-height="30pt"> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block text-align="center" font-size="10pt" font-family="Courier">title 1</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block text-align="center" font-size="10pt" font-family="Courier">title 2</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> <xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::DATA_ROW[position() < $STOP]"> <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> </xsl:for-each> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:template match="DATA_ROW"> <fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="480pt"> <fo:table-column column-width="85pt"/> <fo:table-column column-width="10pt"/> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row line-height="13pt"> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block text-align="left" font-size="10pt" font-family="Courier"> <xsl:value-of select="YOUR_ROW_KEY_1"/> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block text-align="center" font-size="10pt" font-family="Courier"> <xsl:value-of select="YOUR_ROW_KEY_2"/> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> </xsl:template> Hope this help fabrizio At 02.32 12/03/2004, you wrote: >Hi all, > >I am having out of memory issues when transforming my FO -> PDF using >fop-0.20.5rc2.
