Error while opening document from bytes 'bad allocation'
Processing large PDF document can be very crucial for some businesses.
When using IronPDF to load an existing PDF file, IronPDF allocates a portion of memory to store the loaded PDF. Applications running on 32-bit have memory limit of 2 GB per process. Loading a PDF file larger than 500 MB can exceed this limitation, resulting in a 'bad allocation' exception.
Exception message:
IronPdf.Exceptions.IronPdfNativeException: 'Error while opening document from bytes: 'bad allocation'.
Solution
To solve this, please set the application to run on 64-bit.
