Comment on I was wondering why the €40k printer at work was choking with "simple" Canva PDFs

I mean, 3Ghz should be more than enough to parse any PDF, I’d place the blame more on Canva spitting out potentially malformed PDFs than this hardware

Because it is a raster image processor, it rasterizes pages at 1200 DPI CMYK raw files, then applies proprietary color correction profiles, algorithms, imposing booklet and so on.
I tried a totally blank page, if even 1 mm bigger than 1319 inch (330489 mm) the server crashes (I presume OOM)
So when there are one billion vector objects or transparencies, it takes like 1 minute per page
