Hi iText users, quick memory consumption question/problem when reading a large TIFF image using Image.getInstance(String)
The TIFF is 217M and uncrompressed, I wrote a small test program that simply constructs the iText image instance. After the image has been read the heap space usage jumped to an enormous 776MB (figures are from JConsole) As a comparison, when I read the same image using ImageIO Tools, the heap space only grows by pretty much the size of the TIFF. 1. Why does iText require so much more heap space for the same image? 2. Is there a way I can reduce the required heap space when generating PDFs with several large TIFF images? Looking forward for any suggestions! Thanks, Leander ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
