Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 117727
Orphaned soffice.bin processes while using ABCPDF 7
Last modified: 2013-02-02 03:00:07 UTC
Hi I have Open Office 2.4.1 installed on my client's server. Server config =================== OS - Windows 2003 (running in 32 bit mode) PDF generation - ABC PDF 7 Open Office - v 2.4.1 We use ABCPDF 7 for generating PDF from our application. This internally uses OpenOffice as a tool to read related word documents as they are scanned into the PdF getting generated. What we have seen is that there are a large number of soffice.bin and soffice.exe processes that keep residing in the task manager and taking up ~ 14MB of memory each and don't close even after the PDf generation has ended. Sometimes it has gone up to 60 soffice.bin and soffice.exe processes and this ultimately grinds the system to a halt. First PDF generation starts becoming extremely slow and then the overall application performance is affected. As of now we have made the following changes: 1. Removing setting from Quickstart of OpenOffice that starts soffice.bin processes. 2. Created a scheduled task to kill soffice.bin and soffice.exe processes that are in a not responding state every 15 minutes. This has helped to some extent, however this is just a workaround and not a permanent fix. Can you let me know if this issue is resolved in any hotfix/ patch or releases after 2.4.1? Many Thanks Sudhir
