When converting PDFs to HTML (using -c for complex), some of my documents swallow up *all* memory (over 3Gb for a 1 Mb PDF with not that much images in it), grinding the computer to pulp gasping for cache, and every other document it can reach before this is about 4-5 times slower than normal. Killing the process is the only escape. Started with version 0.12.4 (Ubuntu apt-get package), and downloaded and compiled latest version 0.14.5 with the same results for both versions.
PDF too big to be attached. Uploaded to my website, and file is at http://shelter.nu/bitbin/seeingstandards.pdf
Please test with 0.15.3
Just tried to compile 0.15.3, and although I get no errors, I get ; "pdftohtml: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I'll tinker, but are there any new dependencies or versions of old libs that I've missed?
You probably installed things to /usr/local/lib that is not in your ld library path. Either configure poppler to install itself to /usr/lib or use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to /usr/local/lib
Yeah, you're right. Well, I did the normal configure, make, make install cycle, but yes, exporting the new path worked. And I tried it with the document and it worked really well, memory staying swaying in the 58Mb to max 160Mb (which I can live with), and it produced a damn fine result, too. How stable does 0.15.3 seem?
0.15.3 is a release candidate for 0.16
