Editor crash with special file

Post by Mattes57 »

Note: this is NOT a severe problem to me. However, you might take a look.

You may have heard of an experiment by Alex Chan, how big a PDF file can get
https://alexwlchan.net/2024/big-pdf/
He/She created a small PDF that has a virtual size of 381km X 381km.

No one would really print out that file, however, when I try to print, PDFXchange Editor (10.2.1.385) crashes.
Viewing the file with Firefox, for example, and trying to print, does not cause a crash
I don't know how Adobe Reader handles that file.

Hello Mattes57,

I tried Adobe - and the print process tried to start, and then did not appear at all.
I can confirm that this file appears to crash our Editor - so I will ask our devs to take a look!

My colleages from the dev team asked me to make a ticket for this issue, so please quote the below number if you need an update on this one:
#6779: Editor crashes when attempting to print a 381 x 381 Km file.

Kind regards,
Stefan
