number of handles goes up significantly

Post by AteBe »

Hello,

we took a deeper look at our java-process that uses the PDFXChangeEditor. After opening a pdf for display with the API-Funktion OpenDocFromPath() in 'Single Document Mode' the number of handles goes up significantly.

Some of the handles are never released, although it seems that they are no longer needed. Using Windows' Ressource Monitor we saw that a lot of file handles are created (see screenshot File Handles).

Every time we open a new pdf by using the API a new directory in a temporary PDFXEdit.SDK-folder is created.
They all start with pdfx- and contain 3 files (2 -tmp with size 512kb and 256 kb and one called pdfx.lck with size 0 kb).

When shutting down the application (and therefore PDFXChangeEditor), the files within the directories are deleted, but the directories themselves keep existing.
The folders and files keep existing during runtime even when we explicitly closed the opened document via API.

So maybe there are opening-options that need to be set explicitly so that these temporary folders are deleted/released after closing a document or showing a new document?

Hello AteBe,

I've described why the handles are growing in this topic:
