1. Managing Browser Memory
When converting large PDFs client-side, the browser stores page vectors and images in RAM. For documents over 100 pages, this can cause the browser tab to slow down or crash, especially on devices with limited memory.
2. Converting Page Subsets
To avoid memory issues, convert large documents in smaller page ranges (e.g. pages 1-20, then 21-40) and merge the output files later in Word. This keeps memory usage low and ensures a smooth conversion.
⚡ Large File Recommendation
For documents over 50MB, disable image extraction if you only need the text, as images take up the most memory during conversion.
3. Settings to Improve Speed
Selecting "Minimal" quality and disabling OCR for text-based PDFs speeds up the conversion process and keeps file sizes small.
4. Compiling the Output Word File
After rendering the pages, the compiler generates the Word document file and triggers the download immediately, clearing the browser memory afterwards.
