Re: large document loading issues

First of all, please double check what you did.

A simple way to check the amount of memory used by XMLmind XML Editor is 
to use "Help|About". See attached screenshot.

There is no way to get all your images to load correctly if  XMLmind XML 
Editor has insufficient memory at its disposal.

However there are ways to save memory and to make image loading much 
faster: display images as thumbnails or even more memory efficient as 
bounding boxes.

You'll have to use menu items "View|Display Images|as Thumbnails" or 
"View|Display Images|as Bounding Boxes" for that. See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/viewMenu.html

You can even make this behavior the default for all your documents by

1) opening a small (that is, having no memory problems) document of the 
same type (e.g. DocBook v5.1)

and

2) selecting "Options|Customize Configuration|Use Current View Settings 
as Default".

This time, it's RenderX XEP (used as a XMLmind XML Editor plug-in --not 
as an external command-line tool-- when converting XML to PDF) which has 
insufficient memory.

The above Thumbnails/Bounding Boxes tip has no effect on RenderX XEP. 
You must really really make sure to give XMLmind XML Editor more memory 
by using this FAQ:
---
XXE freezes when I try to open large XML files. Is there a workaround 
for this problem?

FYI, RenderX XEP needs "-Xss4m -Xmx2048m" just to convert the "Darwin 
Information Typing Architecture (DITA) Version 1.3 Part 2: Technical 
Content Edition" (an OASIS specification) to PDF. This is a very large, 
very complex, DITA document containing very few images.



It's also possible to convert your document using the xxeconvert 
command-line tool which is almost certainly more frugal in terms of 
memory. See
