Performance downgraded while generating PDF Document using AsposeWordsForJava 11.11 when compared to 11.3

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello Team,

Currently we’re using AsposeWordsForJava11.3 (jdk1.5) version for generating PDF and Word documents. When upgraded to AsposeWordsForJava11.11 (jdk1.6), the PDF document performance has gone down upto 35%.

Good part is that the performance has improved for Word documents.

With Aspose 11.11 (jdk1.6) version, the PDF document generation time is 10-35% more when compared to 11.3 (jdk1.5). The memory consumption is around 2-4% more with new version.
With
Aspose 11.11 (jdk1.5) version, the PDF document generation time is 5-15%
more when compared to 11.3 (jdk1.5). The memory consumption is around
2-3% more with new version.

Thanks,
Kumar

The below statistics is for a 2000 page PDF document generation with 6000 paragraphs, 30 tables, each table containing 30 rows and 6 columns. The generated PDF size is around 2.9 MB.

The tests were run on
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Core i5-250M CPU 2.6 GHz
8GB RAM

Hi Kumar,

Thanks for your inquiry. Could you please attach your input Word document along with complete source code here for testing? I will investigate the issue on my side and provide you more information.

Hi Awais,

Just to confirm, the performance issue is with PDF document generatioin.

I did not know/find how to attach a file. Hence copied the complete source code below. You’ll have to change line #29 for attaching a license.

The inputs are in the below junit itself. You could change the number of paragraphs, table, etc in the testScalability() method.

int numOfParagraph = 1000;
int numOfTables = 40;
int numOfRows = 40;
int numOfColumns = 6;

Thanks,
Kumar
