NRecoPdfRenderer - Out of memory exception

Question

I am facing the issue of "Out Of Memory Exception" coming from NRecoPdfRenderer on my ASP.Net application (not using Mvc application). NRecor PdfRenderer web .Net Component web site

This causes my web site to stop responding. When I remove the NReco.PdfRenderer.dll from project all works fine. Can any one tell me what is going on?

Answer 1

Could you clarify when 'OutOfMemoryException' occurs - when you call NReco.PdfRenderer API or when you just add a reference to the nuget package (or DLL) to your project and that's all?

In the last case I may assume that your project has another 3rd party library that scans all project assemblies (with a reflection). NReco.PdfRenderer.DLL is obfuscated and this may cause 'OutOfMemoryException' when its assembly is analyzed with a reflection; to fix this only way is usage of un-obfuscated build, it may be provided upon request.
