The OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error you are encountering during the conversion of an MHTML file to PDF typically indicates that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) has run out of memory. This can happen when processing large files or when the memory allocated to the JVM is insufficient for the operation.

Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

  1. Increase Java Heap Size: You can increase the maximum heap size allocated to the JVM. This can be done by setting the -Xmx option when starting your Java application. For example, to set the maximum heap size to 2 GB, you would use:

    java -Xmx2g -jar your-application.jar
    
  2. Optimize MHTML File: If possible, try to optimize the MHTML file you are converting. This could involve reducing the size of images or simplifying the content to decrease memory usage during conversion.

  3. Use PdfSaveOptions: When converting, you can customize the PdfSaveOptions to manage memory usage better. For instance, you can adjust the JPEG quality or set specific page sizes to reduce the overall memory footprint. Here’s a simple example of how to set up the conversion with options:

    try (java.io.FileInputStream fileInputStream = new java.io.FileInputStream("path/to/your.mht")) {
        com.aspose.html.saving.PdfSaveOptions options = new com.aspose.html.saving.PdfSaveOptions();
        options.setJpegQuality(80); // Adjust JPEG quality to reduce memory usage
        String outputFile = "output.pdf";
        com.aspose.html.converters.Converter.convertMHTML(fileInputStream, options, outputFile);
    }
    
  4. Monitor Memory Usage: Use tools like VisualVM or JConsole to monitor the memory usage of your application while it runs. This can help you identify if there are specific points where memory spikes occur.

  5. Check for Memory Leaks: Ensure that your application does not have memory leaks, which can exacerbate memory issues. Review your code for any objects that are not being released properly.

By following these steps, you should be able to mitigate the OutOfMemoryError and successfully convert your MHTML file to PDF. If the problem persists, consider breaking down the MHTML file into smaller parts for conversion.

For more detailed information on converting MHTML to PDF and managing options, you can refer to the official documentation here.
