Im not sure what you mean...
If you want field value to have black text, just use
color='#000000'

Write your own helper that will evaluate handlebars code
Something like this

function evaluate() {
    return Handlebars.compile('{{#if true}}hello{{else}}nothing{{/if}}')(this)
}

Try value attribute

 {{{pdfFormField name='firstName' value='hello world' color='#FF0000' required=true type='text' width='200px' height='20px'}}}

I apologize if I missed something. It’s been a long time since I last worked with .NET...
I don't see the jsreport.Client would be dependent on the System.Text.RegularExpressions

Could you check the following?

dotnet list package --include-transitive
dotnet list package --vulnerable --include-transitive

I appologize for the delay.

I don't have an idea what could be wrong. Maybe, removing the report entity works, but removing the blob fails. However you should notice this in the logs.

I would need you to compress and send me the whole app, and also attach the render request you called to replicate it.

What does the last part of the statement refer to with 'undefined report(s) deletion per run'?

That seems to be just a logging issue fixed in the 4.9.0

There is nothing in the logs related to cleanup other than an acknowledgement of the settings.

That is strange, when I run with the short interval, I can immediately see the cleanup logs (at the end). Could you double-check the same and compare with your setup?

What jsreport version do you use? What template store do you use?

With the debug logs, you should see this

Cleaning up old reports
Cleaned ${removedReports} old reports

and when something fails you should see

Failed to clean up old reports

Could you share these logs?

This could mean that Chrome or Node.js is just lazy in releasing the memory.
The idle time doesn't necessarily mean the memory gets released.

Try to run the container with limited memory. This should force the memory release.

docker run -d --name jsreport-memtest --memory=500m -p 15488:5488 \
  -e "extensions_authentication_enabled=false" \
  jsreport/jsreport:4.12.0

With the 500m memory limit, I can run 10 000 reports without OOM.

Thank you for the topic. I've tried to replicate the issue, but I can't reproduce it so far.

Some questions to help me isolate the problem...

Do you have authentication enabled?
Do you reproduce the same with the local mongo single node replica?
Could you upload somewhere an export with "many child entities" so we test on the same?

The Chromium pdf printing evolves in time. The later versions add accessibility, image masking, and other implementation changes that may increase the final PDF size. We update Chromium every time when releasing jsreport, that's the reason why v2 and v4 pdf outputs differ.

There are 3 visible images in the flight ticket showcase, but every image also has an alpha mask. That's why you see 6 images in the PDF source.

You can try to enable the pdf compression feature
