| Summary | 0011581: Scribus crahes when a file with lots of photos is exported to pdf | ||||
| Description | I have created a file with lots of large photos. When I try to export this file to a pdf file, Scribus crashes with Windows killing the program as only option. If I reduce the files page count to a maximum of 4 pages, the export functions properly. My notebook computer (HP Pavilion g6) is equipped with 6 GB of memory and no other programs are running. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1) Create a file with 5 to 6 pages and each page contains at least 3 photos with approxamitely 40 MB filesize for each foto in jpg and tiff format. 2) click "File -> Export -> pdf and make the necessary selections 3) shortly after the export starts, Scribus crashes and Windows shows a dialogue to cancel the program. | ||||

Thanks for reporting. However this is a duplicate of issue 0004189. You are likely using the 32 bit version of Scribus and Scribus likely hit the 2gb limit of memory usage 32bit programs can achieve. The crash are caused by Scribus running out of address space. In your case you should really use the 64bit version of Scribus : http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus/1.4.2/scribus-1.4.2-windows-x64.exe/download This version can use all the memory available on your computer and is consequently able to handle much bigger files. A final tip however: unless your book has a format higher than A4, having files bigger than 33Mb is useless. And I speak here of the uncompressed size, not the file size. For photos a resolution of 300dpi is largely enough. So for a full size photo on a A4 page, that gives a 25Mb file for a RGB image and a 33Mb file for a CMYK image. |
