[PPower4] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

[Fabrizio Moro]

Dear ppower4 users,

In a growing presentation I get the following message if I continue
including more figures:

This is PPower4 version 0.8.4.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:
at java.lang.StringBuffer.expandCapacity(StringBuffer.java)
at java.lang.StringBuffer.append(StringBuffer.java)
at com.etymon.pj.PdfParser.readUntil(PdfParser.java:163)
at com.etymon.pj.PdfParser.getObjects(PdfParser.java:40)

at de.tu_darmstadt.sp.pp4.PP4Pages.work(PP4Pages.java:718)
at de.tu_darmstadt.sp.pp4.PPower4.main(PPower4.java:174) 

Anyone can give me hint on that?

I'm using

java -version
java version "1.1.7B"

and 

pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1)  


Thanks

Fabrizio

You should try to increase the heap size of your java interpreter.
Add an option to the java command in the ppower4 command script.
The command "java -X" lists the possible (non-standard) options. 
You may need
-Xmxsizeset maximum Java heap size. example: -Xmx64m

Klaus

P.S. Why do you run the post processor? You seem not to have used 
\pause in your document up to page 5

 Thanks. I will certainly try it.

 Yes. In this case the combination pdflatex/foiltex/hyperref would
 suffice; I think. I used the post processor because I was trying
 to recycle an existing document as a template. Also I do not know 
 how to incorporate backgrounds on pdflatex/foiltex. Would you or 
 other members of the list know that?

 Thanks,

 The latest pdftex.def has \pagecolor supported. So it is a simple
 matter of issuing \pagecolor{clr}. However I wish I had the 
 option of vertical gradient defined in background.sty. I wonder
 whether the definitions in background.sty could be incorporated
 into color.sty/pdftex.def.

 Thanks.
