Large Report Prevents PDF Generation

[justinr86]

Summary

Submitting a large report prevents PDF generation. The Thank You page takes a long time to display the reference number, when it does the PDF link does not work.

In the browser console the following error messages are displayed:

• abortError.txt

• promiseError.txt

This is the submission that caused the issue:

• Large Submission.docx

This report was inserted into the DB, though it did take too long to display confirmation. This does negatively affect PDF generation.

Steps to reproduce

Start report, enter data from Large Submission.docx, submit. View browser console for errors.

Unresolved questions

The solution seems to be limiting input on some fields. What fields should we limit entry on, and by how much?

It only has 15 pages.
I tried to reproduce the problem as much as I can. But I can't reproduce it.
Not only I can't reproduce it. the pdf was generated in lighting speed.
How old is your computer? Memory deeply fragmented?

The overall size is not a problem, it can generate pdf into 100s pages. The problem is that no text field can be larger than 10K.
