PDF Document Size Considerations

The maximum size of a PDF document that can be processed by the PDF FSS collector is determined by:

• The region size of the FSS printer task.
• The MEMORY and MAXOBJCT parameter specifications.
  • The MEMORY parameter designates the maximum size in (kilobytes) of a PDF document that can be processed by the PDF FSS collector.

    The default for MEMORY is 96801 which is equivalent to 94.5 megabytes.

  • The MAXOBJCT parameter designates the maximum number of objects that can be contained in the PDF document.

    The default for MAXOBJCT is 30000.

If the PDF document size and number of objects exceed the MEMORY or MAXOBJCT parameter specifications, the following occurs:

• A CAHPDF20E or CAHPDF21E message is issued.
• The SYSOUT data set for the PDF document is requeued to a held status.

Note: The MEMORY and/or MAXOBJCT parameters specifications can be increased in the associated PDFINDEX member to successfully process the PDF document.

The PDF collector allocates buffers based on the MEMORY and MAXOBJCT parameter specifications. This formula indicates the amount of storage that is required based on these parameters.

storage = (MEMORY * 1024) + (MAXOBJCT * 684)

The FSS printer task must have enough available storage to allocate these buffers. If the required amount of storage is not available:

• A CAHPDF31E message is issued.
• The affected SSYOUT data set is requeued to a held status.

The region size of the PDF FSS collector task must be increased or the MEMORY or MAXOBJCT parameters or both specifications must be reduced.

If the maximum region size is being used and the MEMORY or MAXOBJCT parameters or both specifications cannot be reduced, the PDF FSS collector cannot process the PDF document.

The MEMORY and MAXOBJCT parameters are discussed later in this chapter.

Note: For more information about the CAHPDF20E, CAHPDF21E, and CAHPDF31E messages, see the chapter "Error Message" in the CA View Message Guide.
