When using BufferSizeHint, temp files left behind

public static ByteArrayOutputStream convertToPDF(InputStream inputStream, int pdfMaxDimension) {
    		LoadOptions lop = new LoadOptions();
    		lop.setDataRecoveryMode(DataRecoveryMode.ConsistentRecover);
    		lop.setBufferSizeHint(50);
    		PdfOptions exportOptions = new PdfOptions();
    		PdfCoreOptions pdfCoreOptions = new PdfCoreOptions();
    		pdfCoreOptions.setCompression(CompressionLevel.SUPER_FAST);  
    		pdfCoreOptions.setJpegQuality(100); 
    		exportOptions.setPdfCoreOptions(pdfCoreOptions);
    		exportOptions.setBufferSizeHint(50);
    		ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    		image.save(baos, exportOptions);
    		baos.flush();
    		return baos;
    	} catch (Exception e) {
                 //log error
    	}
    	return null;
    }

Using this method, when setting the buffer size hint, temp files are created in
c:\users{user}\AppData\Local\Temp\3

These files have guid names, and are never cleared up leading to an out of disk space situation on primary drive.

Changing java tmp directory does not resolve. Is there a way to control what directory these files are created in, so that we can manage them more easily?

Thanks!

Welcome to our forum, @TealWren!
Thank you for using Aspose.Imaging.
Please, let me clarify some points

  1. Using setBufferSizeHint configures the library to use less memory and more temporary files.
  2. It is highly required to close unnecessary images using try(Image img = Image.load(...)) construction or by calling close() directly. Then the temporary files will be deleted!
  3. You can change directory for the temporary files by changing System.setProperty("java.io.tmpdir", "some path") or by setting it in a command line java -Djava.io.tmpdir="some path" application_launcher_class

Here is the correct version of you code:

public static ByteArrayOutputStream convertToPDF(InputStream inputStream, int pdfMaxDimension) {
	LoadOptions lop = new LoadOptions();
	lop.setDataRecoveryMode(DataRecoveryMode.ConsistentRecover);
	lop.setBufferSizeHint(50);
	
	try (Image image = Image.load(inputStream, lop)) {	
		PdfOptions exportOptions = new PdfOptions();
		PdfCoreOptions pdfCoreOptions = new PdfCoreOptions();
		pdfCoreOptions.setCompression(CompressionLevel.SUPER_FAST);
		pdfCoreOptions.setJpegQuality(100);
		exportOptions.setPdfCoreOptions(pdfCoreOptions);
		exportOptions.setBufferSizeHint(50);
		
		ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
		image.save(baos, exportOptions);
		return baos;
	}
	catch (Exception e) {
		//log error
	}
	
	return null;
}
