Hi Franck,

I received with pdf's.

I copy paste you php script and run it through lighttpd.
Both pdfs were successfully converted.
My lighthttpd is configured to run php as fastcgi.

It's seems that you have some limit configured somewhere, you have to find it.
If with run php as mod_php, you could try to configure it to run as fastcgi.

My best guess is that you are reaching a memory limit.
Both pdf conversion reach 40M/50M of memory on my laptop.

How do you run your apache/php? mod_php?

You can try, as root:
su - user_that_run_apache

and then check the OS limits(memory, filesize,....) for that user with:
ulimit

I found this thread that problably is related to your problem:
