Hi Team,
I see a warning message while converting PDF to Word document
** (process:1): WARNING **: 18:17:27.711: Requested 0 bytes. Maximum size for region is 262144 bytes.
The conversion code is run from AWS EKS. I have no idea what does the warning means and does it mean something wrong with the conversion? Please share your ideas and solution.
ASPOSE.PDF version 22.10.0
mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0
Thanks
Raj
Such warning may occur while dealing with memory stream like reading files from databases, etc. It does not mean that conversion is not done correctly. You can also share your PDF document with us and we can try to replicate the issue in our environment if you are noticing any anomaly in the generated .doc/.docx files.
Sure. Before sharing the file, I encountered a serious issue of memory consumption increase after document conversion the objects are not deallocated and results in restart of k8s pod. I’m sharing code used for conversion
public byte[] PdfToWordDocument(byte[] byteValue)
{
using MemoryStream docStream = new();
{
using Stream pdfStream = new MemoryStream(byteValue);
{
using Document pdf = new(pdfStream, true);
{
DocSaveOptions so = new()
{
Format = DocSaveOptions.DocFormat.DocX,
Mode = DocSaveOptions.RecognitionMode.Flow
};
pdf.OptimizeSize = true;
pdf.Optimize();
pdf.OptimizeResources();
pdf.Save(docStream, so);
byte[] result = docStream.GetBuffer();
pdf.FreeMemory();
pdf.Dispose();
return result;
}
}
}
}
The kube pod configuration is
resources:
limits:
memory: “1G”
cpu: “500m”
Please share your feedback and resolution techniques.
Is it happening with every PDF? Can you please share sample PDF for our reference as well? We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.
The pdf file is confidential and classified. I’m not allowed to share.
I’m sharing the infrastructure details and how the program is setup.
Running a .NET 6 worker service to read the pdf byte[] from database and use ASPOSE.PDF api to convert it to docx byte[] push the converted content to datastore.
The service is configured to sleep for few seconds and poll the database for any new pdf byte[] content.
Hosted the worker service image in AWS EKS with CPU 500mi and 1G memory. The memory size constantly grows and at one point the pod gets re-provisioned. Attached image

I totally understood your situation.
Please answer, Any plans to move out of System.Drawing dependency in Aspose.PDF? We are facing tough challenges with workloads running on AWS Lambda with linux dependency. If yes, any tentative release month (or) date
We would like share with you that we have launched Aspose.PDF.Drawing API that you can install through NuGet. It has dependency upon Aspose.Drawing component instread of System.Drawing.Common. We have launched it for non-Windows environments where System.Drawing.Common is no more supported. You can uninstall Aspose.PDF and replace it with Aspose.PDF.Drawing. Once things are finalized, we will integrate it permanently in Aspose.PDF.
Thank you asad for the details.
The Aspose.PDF.Drawing has intermittent CPU spikes in windows server ec2. Any issues reported like the same.
Since the API is under testing and beta phase, some issues are expected and we are welcoming our customers to report them if they facing. Please share some sample files and code snippet along with screenshots of memory spikes. We will log it for investigation and share the ID with you.
