Out of memory crash while importing large pdf

[craigleat]

Running Inkscape r21233 (self compiled) on Ubuntu 7.10
gc 6.8
cairo 1.8.6
poppler 0.10.6
glib 2.20.1

App crashes while importing a PDF with a large bitmap. PDF is 110Mb.

I watched the memory usage during the import and inkscape gobbles up nearly 2Gb of RAM.

I could put the PDF on a ftp server. Let me know if there is anyone interested in testing.

BTW
$ ulimit -d
unlimited

Back trace is attached.

Please could you provide the svg and the image that crashes inkscape?

[theAdib (theadib)]

Sorry, I mean the pdf that crashes while importing. If you can not push to Launchpad, do you have a ftp service?

[craigleat (craig-leat)]

To reproduce the crash do the following:

1. Start a new drawing
2. Set document properties to A2 landscape
3. Import the attached file: A2 Test map.pdf
4. Leave PDF import settings at the default values and click OK
5. Wait several minutes and Inkscape crashes

I have attached another smaller PDF map generated by a different app (Ghostscript). Opening the PDF crashes Inkscape, this time with a polite dialog stating that Inkscape has suffered an internal error. The terminal output seems the same: "GC Warning: Out of memory!"

[craigleat (craig-leat)]

I finally managed to create a PDF that Inkscape will open by removing entities from the original map. I also managed to save the PDF as an Inkscape SVG. However, Inkscape still crashes while working with this SVG.

Terminal output:
$ ./inkscape

Bug still around on Inkscape 0.48.4 running on Windows 7 (64 bit).

This 3MB file crashes:
http://www.quickborn.de/quickborn_media/Dokumente/Rathaus/Wahlen/Kommunalwahl+2013/Wahlbezirke+Quickborn+(Gesamt%C3%BCbersicht).pdf

File size, though, can't be the main issue, as this 7 MB file is imported without problems (though it takes a little while):

http://www.luebeck.de/stadt_politik/rathaus/wahlen/bundestagswahl13/files/lubeca2013_bu13_3.pdf

Furthermore, the issue can't be related to multi-page PDF. Importing the map on p.2 from the following 6 MB PDF works without problems

The map on p.9 of this 3 MB document, however, lets inkscape crash:

Finally, a case of an import that does not crash, but is displaying incompletely (background picture missing)

Import was always done using standard parameters (precision coarse/ 2.0; replace flow text by standard text, replace PDFfonts, embed pictures).

I tried the PDf file (20 MB size, filename "A2 Test Map.zip") on Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) with 8 GB RAM and it freezes Inkscape 0.91 64 bit.

[boussad (picks)]

Its likely to be a memory problem.

Force windows to use all the available RAM memory:

Step1: Go to Start Button and Type "Run"

Step 2: In the Run Box: Type " msconfig ".

Step 3: Go to Boot tab in the System configuration window.

Step 4: Click advanced option and Check the "Maximum memory" Check box.

Step 5: Restart when prompted.

Hi,
You should make sure that the value of the Optimize loading in the Text edit mode for files over option is less than the size of your document.
