Hi Dennis, There are two steps: XML+XSLT-> FO that's the transformation. Done by saxon or xerces, usually. Anyway, not the main concern on this list. FO->PDF that’s the creation. That's FOPs part and the main concern here. If your process dies during the first step, there's no use in giving you hints how to reduce memory consumption in the second step, obviously. If you are not sure, you could post the last few lines of debug output before the Exception appears. Maybe that can give a hint. As for the JVM settings: I create my larger PDFs with -Xmx2000m -Xincgc

The image cache is already cleared after each converted file. I'll search the list archive for other options. I was hoping for certain JVM settings which could increase the tenured memory pool size.
