Adding pages to write into file like so: pdf.AddPage(settings) slows Rhino to a crawl and crashes it after about a dozen of pages. [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid. at System.Drawing.Graphics.GetHdc() at System.Windows.Forms.Internal.WindowsGr…

Hi Asterisk, As a test or solution if acceptable you might try and decrease the pdf resolution. I’ve had succes to allow for more pages per pdf by lowering DPI from 600 to 300. Still not a favorable solution but at least a workaround and pointer to the probable cause. -Willem

Yeah that’s the first thing I tried - it didn’t matter and from my little understanding, shouldn’t matter, 'cause the output is Vector.

A tool like Split PDF might be convenient too

If you have details in shaded, rendered or any other mode involving some form of shading, the output is not pure vector. Can you provide an example to repeat the issue for someone at McNeel to look at?

I managed to make it print more than 50 pages by Hiding everything in the document and showing only what is being output into a single PDF page. Rhino still becomes unresponsive and you have to just wait it out. And after running the script 3-4 times, it starts crashing again. Have to reopen the fil…

I managed to cram 278 pages into one pdf. That’s not nearly enough and the issue is still there. And the issue feels like some “display memory buffer” gets overfilled and even outside programs like PDF viewer becomes sluggish while the Rhino instance in which script ran once is running. test 2.py …

Not sure if this matters, but .Finalize method doesn’t exist in .FilePdf class. Only in documentation.
