PDF Generation-Some URLs do not complete to file download stage #28

Closed WalkaboutTigger closed 10 years ago

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5345583/1/FG2-The-Trio-Hit-Hogwarts is one such example. While the EPUB and MOBI complete in less than 20 seconds, the PDF continues to count up the seconds, but does not actually ever complete. I suspect this is due to a translation issue wherein the " - " in the title of the story translates to unknown characters - specifically " – ".

Hello, this seems to be actually due to a memory problem. Calibre takes up a lot of memory for PDF generation - a much larger percentage than Linux allows, which results in the process being automatically killed. I am looking into alternatives to this.
