TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [PDF memory size
I had been processing a rather complicated set of pages successfully until late this morning. Now I get this (edited) error message: ________________________ This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (format=cont-en 2005.6.10) 13 JUN 2005 13:34 entering extended mode (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) **&cont-en Geminus_Intro_c8.tex (./Geminus_Intro_c8.tex ConTeXt ver: 2005.06.08 fmt: 2005.6.10 int: english mes: english !

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. Regards, Hartmut

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 On Jun 13, 2005, at 4:17 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:
