[xep-support] how long does it take to create a PDF?

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Carlos,

XEP supports a standard approach to address this problem - XML
catalogs. Please refer to section "3.5. Resolution of External
Entities and URIs" of "XEP 3.8 User Guide".

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

CV> One thing we noticed is that if you're using lots of external SVG images 
CV> that contain a DOCTYPE referencing the DTD in W3C.org, things get very 
CV> slow. XEP tries to revolve all external references and it loads the DTD 
CV> every time for each image. Removing the DOCTYPE from SVG images reduced 
CV> the processing time from 35 min. to 40 seconds in a document with about 
CV> 60 images in our case. We have a pretty fast internet conection, but 
CV> accessing the w3c site for XEP is very slow. Also if the pc is not 
CV> online, then it will fail to load the images. I don't know if there's a 
CV> way to set a custom entity resolver for images, I think this has been 
CV> asked before. The entity resolver for documents and stylesheets are not 
CV> used for images, at least in our tests (XEP 3.84). I think XEP should 
CV> provide   a default that handles the SVG DTD locally or provide a way to 
CV> customize the entity resolver used for loading SVG images.
