PM35628: Issue while exporting large OLE images to PDF

Rational Publishing Engine 1.1.2.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Extracting the DOORS module containing pictures/OLE in a table
  format in landscape orientation will make RPE non-responsive. We
  have to kill RPE using windows task manager.
  
  The issue is reproducible only with PDF output and if we
  increase the cell width of the cell which holds object text
  (picture) value to any value more than 500.
  
  The workaround is to set the value of ?image max length' under
  'Metadata' of the ?Document Specification? file to any value
  less than ?470?.
  
  This is not reproducible if we extract to portrait.
