Memory leaks.
One of our sister offices have some rather large PDF files that they must run through Infolinker to create thousands of internal links extremely quickly in these files.
The way Infolinker works, is it basically performs an OCR of the file, and then based off of various rules, it creates the links. To see if your files will work with Infolinker, you open the file up in either Adobe Acrobat or reader, and then you hold the page down key until the entire book has scrolled through from the front to the end of the book. If Adobe Acrobat/Reader doesn’t crash then the file is OK, but if you watch the Page File usage in the windows task manager, you can see the page file usage go up very rapidly until the file crashes. This appears to be a serious memory leak issue. The PDF file is about 50 Megs.
Any ideas?

The problem you're experiencing could also be related to this other tool (Infolinker) that you're using. When you say you hold the page down key to scroll the entire book to see if Infolinker will work -- is this their recommended procedure? Scrolling in this fashion can be very memory intensive especially if you have large files with a lot of content. How large are your files and when type of content are they made up of? Are you using an Adobe application to create the PDFs or a clone technology?
Keep us posted,
