PDF generation crashes OBIEE server

We faced issue in one of our dashboard where OBIEE presentation server was crashing when trying to export dashboard to PDF. This dashboard had multiple reports embedded in it. We were trying to apply multiple formatting to align various reports on the dashboard. When we removed extra formatting on one of the reports, the server stopped crashing.

PDF download Issues

We had an issue with downloading PDF files which were large. By increasing default PDF cache size in instance config file as below we were able to download large PDFs too.

File to be changed is located at:

d:\OracleBIData\web\config\instanceconfig.xml


Lines to be added:

<JavaMinHeapPDF>200000000</JavaMinHeapPDF>
<JavaMaxHeapPDF>200000000</JavaMaxHeapPDF>


The min java heap size can be reduced, but we kept this just to verify if this change is helping PDF to download.
