Dynamic PDF crashing Acrobat

Avatar

Level 1

Greetings,

We are creating 60 + pages of a dynamic form, allowing users to add rows, text boxes to accept 15,000 characters, etc. While running the form in Acrobat and viewing the Task Manager, every time a dynamic event is triggered the memory use of Acrobat increases until finally Acrobat shuts down, usually around 400,000 K.

We ran the Javascript debugger in Acrobat Pro and fixed some errors, however is there dynamic limitation of the size of the PDF or the number of dynamic objects that can be used? Anyone know of any work arounds? Thanks!

Hi,

We used to have this sort of problem before we set the "Enforce Strict Scoping Rules in JavaScript" option, under Form Properties ... Defaults.  This used a more aggressive garbage collection but also meant that any dynamic properties we added to the JavaScript objects XFA creates were lost ... a big change to our coding style at the time. 

There's more on strict scoping here http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/06/enforcing_strict_javascript.html.

Hope this helps
