Which method can prevent performance issues caused by PDF exports?

• A. Managing the export permission global/space levels
• B. Increasing memory allocated to the system
• C. Disabling all exports entirely by deleting the product
• D. Running export during off-peak hours

Answer: (B)

PDF exports are memory-intensive because the rendering process loads page content, images, fonts, and layout data into memory to generate the document. If the server doesn’t have enough memory, the export can slow down, become unstable, or fail, impacting overall performance. Increasing memory allocated to the system provides the export process with more heap and memory space, allowing large or complex PDFs to be created smoothly and reducing bottlenecks that cause performance issues. The other approaches don’t address the root resource constraint: controlling who can export or when exports run affects usage or timing but not the underlying memory availability, and disabling exports eliminates functionality entirely.
