Syncfusion.Pdf memory leak.

Hello!

 

We are using your Syncfusion.Pdf library and faced with a memory leak.

 

                      byte[] content = …;

byte[] xmlFormData = …;

 

                      using (var pdfInStream = new MemoryStream(content, false))

                      using (var pdfDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument(pdfInStream))

                      using (var xmlFormDataStream = new MemoryStream(xmlFormData))

                      {

                             pdfDocument.Form.ImportDataXFDF(xmlFormDataStream);

                             pdfDocument.Form.Flatten = true;

 

                             using (var pdfDocumentStream = new MemoryStream())

                             {

                                    pdfDocument.Save(pdfDocumentStream);

 

                                    pdfDocumentStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

 

                                    return pdfDocumentStream.ToArray();

                             }

                      }

 

After running this code multiple times memory fills with a big amount of objects that can’t be garbage collected:

              Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.Fonts.StandardWidthTable       

              Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.Fonts.PdfFontMetrics

              Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfTrueTypeFont

Service gets bigger and bigger and eventually hangs.

 

The reason is the static s_cache variable in Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfDocument class, that stores all the references to this objects:

 

 

The problem exists in 14.3451.0.49 library version.

Can you please assist us with this?

Hi Dmitry, 

Thank you for using Syncfusion products, 

Can you please enable memory optimization in you code as given in the below code snippet, 

byte[] content = …; 
byte[] xmlFormData = …; 
 
using (var pdfInStream = new MemoryStream(content, false)) 
using (var pdfDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument(pdfInStream)) 
using (var xmlFormDataStream = new MemoryStream(xmlFormData)) 
{ 
pdfDocument.EnableMemoryOptimization = true; 
pdfDocument.Form.ImportDataXFDF(xmlFormDataStream); 
pdfDocument.Form.Flatten = true; 
 
using (var pdfDocumentStream = new MemoryStream()) 
{ 
pdfDocument.Save(pdfDocumentStream); 
 
pdfDocumentStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); 
 
return pdfDocumentStream.ToArray(); 
} 
} 
it will dispose all the resources when disposing the PdfLoadedDocument. 
 
Please try the above code snippet and let us know your result. 

Regards, 
Praveen
