7.1 Configuring pool size for Output and Forms

The current default value for PoolMax is 4. The actual value to set depends on the hardware configuration and the expected usage in your environment.

For optimal use, we recommend that the lower limit of PoolMax not be less than the number of CPUs that are available. The upper limit must be determined by the load pattern on your server. Generally, the upper limit should be set to twice the number of CPUs cores on your server.

Modify the existing PoolMax value

  1. Using a text editor, edit the JBoss startup script.

  2. Add the following properties for ConvertPdf:

    • com.adobe.convertpdf.bmc.POOL_MAX=[new value]

    • com.adobe.convertpdf.bmc.MAXIMUM_REUSE_COUNT=5000

    • com.adobe.convertpdf.bmc.REPORT_TIMING_INFORMATION=true

    • com.adobe.convertpdf.bmc.CT_ALLOW_SYSTEM_FONTS=true

  3. Add the following properties for XMLFM:

    • com.adobe.xmlform.bmc.POOL_MAX=[new value]

    • com.adobe.xmlform.bmc.MAXIMUM_REUSE_COUNT=5000

    • com.adobe.xmlform.bmc.REPORT_TIMING_INFORMATION=true

    • com.adobe.xmlform.bmc.CT_ALLOW_SYSTEM_FONTS=true
