Description moemensaadeh936 2025-02-20 08:01:46 UTC
Description:
i tried to convert a pdf file size(1.5MB) to docx through command line and it works without any problem it takes around 3s and i got satisfied with the result, then i wanted to test the application with a large file like 20MB ,i waited for maybe 10 min and it hasn't finished + the terminal has crashed when i tried to terminate the process.

Actual Results:
actually i waited for like 10 min then i exit the terminal cause nothing happened and the app has crashed.

Expected Results:
converting large pdf to docx within a satisfied time


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
i have windows 11 pro , 16GB ram , 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13620H   2.40 GHz
idk if it's related to memory or why it hasn't converted within a reasonable time , i tried to convert this dummy file for testing

Tested with other apps also takes a lot of time,
E.g. with Gimp or Word.

It is a long PDF with a lot of tables.
