10.2.1 Configuring EJB Pool Size

Four different stateless session beans exist for enforcing independent pool sizes for the following types of input files:

  • Adobe PostScript® and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files

  • Image files, such as BMP, TIFF, PNG, and JPEG files

  • OpenOffice files

  • All other file types (except HTML files), such as Microsoft Office, Photoshop®, PageMaker®, and FrameMaker® files

The pool size for HTML-to-PDF conversions is not managed through the use of stateless session beans.

The default pool size for PostScript and EPS files and for image files is set to 3, and the default pool size for OpenOffice and other file types (except HTML) is set to 1.

You can configure the PS/EPS and image pool size to a different value based on your server hardware configuration, such as the number of CPUs, the number of cores within each CPU, and so on. However, it is mandatory that the pool size for the OpenOffice and other file types be left unchanged at 1 for proper functioning of PDF Generator.

This section describes how the pool size for PS2PDF and Image2PDF can be configured for each of the supported application servers.

The text that follows assumes that the following two LiveCycle application EARs are deployed on the application server:

  • adobe-livecycle-websphere.ear

  • adobe-livecycle-native-websphere-[platform].ear

    where [platform] should be replaced with one of the following strings, depending on your operating system:

  • (Windows) x86_win32

  • (Linux) x86_linux

  • (SunOS™) sparc_sunos

  • (AIX) powerpc_aix

Configure the pool size for PS2PDF and Image2PDF

Refer to Distiller service settings and Generate PDF service settings under “Managing services” in the LiveCycle Administration Help.
