TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [PDF memory size

TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [PDF memory size

[Alan Bowen]

I had been processing a rather complicated set of pages successfully  
until late this morning. Now I get this (edited) error message:

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [PDF memory size (pdf_mem_size)=65536].

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
3111 strings out of 62015
51823 string characters out of 633399
4546524 words of memory out of 6074780
38469 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+50000
508064 words of font info for 219 fonts, out of 2000000 for 2000
172 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
78i,22n,104p,4501b,1458s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,6000p, 
200000b,40000s
PDF statistics:
35 PDF objects out of 300000
3 named destinations out of 131072
65281 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 65536
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!

So, how may I increase pdf_mem_size and by how much should I do this?

Thanks for any help!

in file teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf you can set it by, e. g.:

pdf_mem_size = 500000

the hardcoded upper limit seems to be 524288.

By editting texmf.cnf (enlarging or adding a pdf_mem_size setting)

You can have a look at context.cnf for example settings:

   /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/web2c/context.cnf

Your 'normal' texmf.cnf will probably be this one:

   /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf

the memory settings are near the end of those files.

Helmut and Taco —

Many thanks for the prompt solution to my pdf_mem_size problem. I  
added the line
pdf_mem_size = 500000
to texfm.cnf (after checking context.cnf) as instructed, and the file  
is now processing happily as it should.

Very best, Alan
