Clearing the cache won't help in this case. The problem is that your
images are probably all in the same page-sequence. Together with a "page
x of y" and the fact that ImageIO's JPEG codec copies the JPEG to a
local temp file for decoding I guess that could easily lead to 800 open
files.
Please try the following: Change org.apache.fop.image.ImageFactory
(around line 94) like this:
current:
imt = new ImageMimeType("image/jpeg");
imageMimeTypes.put(imt.getMimeType(), imt);
imt.addProvider(jpegImageIOImage);
imt.addProvider(jpegImage);
change to:
imt = new ImageMimeType("image/jpeg");
imageMimeTypes.put(imt.getMimeType(), imt);
imt.addProvider(jpegImage);
imt.addProvider(jpegImageIOImage);
(i.e. switch the two lines with "addProvider" so the "jpegImage" comes
before "jpegImageIOImage"). Since you're generating PDF you don't need
the ImageIO variant (i.e. an actual JPEG codec). Using the other JPEG
provider will not create any temp files and should therefore solve your
problem. No guarantees, though.
Of course, you'll need to recompile FOP after the change. Let us know if
it helps.
