2.6 How can I render large documents when using the .NET or PHP API?

By default the PDFreactor webservice, which is used by the .NET and PHP API, has 512mb of memory assigned for its Java VM. For large documents, this might not be sufficient.

Under Windows, you can increase this limit for the webservice by opening the properties dialog of "PDFreactor WebService" in the "Services" panel of the "Computer Management" window. At the bottom there's a text field called "Start parameters" which is only editable when the service doesn't run. There you can increase the memory limit with the following parameter:

-J-Xmx1000m

This parameter sets the max. memory for the service to 1000 megabyte after starting the service again.
