Something similar I found with Graphviz graphs, if you set the dpi to 600 or larger, graphviz crash… no matter the paper size. 300 dpi works ---

I dont know… I have a Ryzen 9 with 64 GB of ECC RAM, 2x 1TB NVME SSD (one for system and applications, one for data, cached workspaces and so on), and a SATA SSD for other workarea with less load… still, there are lots of this libraries/apps that just crash if the size of data get to large… networkx should be able to handle milions of nodes, so I don’t know what the problem with the report you run, but if it use Graphviz, I bet its Graphviz that gives you problems when you run with to much data… ---

> [@Wildkat](#): > > ok, I got something! I reduced the number of generations to 5 and I got a pdf file. can’t see it very well, I think I have the paper set to big Found the message in the user manual 🙂 ### Report could not be created The **Report could not be created** dialog can occur for various reasons, eg: one reason is that the custom paper size you have chosen for the report is too large for PDF format that is being used. [![Tango-Dialog-information.png64x64](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/1X/f96cbf29ad1c5ea168fd84f7e8a1a10b3e8e29b0.png)](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/File:Tango-Dialog-information.png) **PDF size limits** Each Adobe PDF Version format specification has a maximum page size limit, for: - PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.0) and PDF Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.0) the maximum PDF page size is 200" x 200" inches (508cm x 508cm) - PDF Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.0) and newer the theoretical PDF page size is 15,000,000" x 15,000,000" inches (38,100,000cm x 38,100,000cm) but in reality most programs do not properly support any sizes above 200" x 200" inches (508cm x 508cm).
