On Ubuntu 23.10: trying to produce 1454 mailletters into one PDF with two images. Same behaviour with creating odt. After "creating documents..." which runs smoothly the system works forever at around 90% CPU on a Lenovo X220 with 10GB RAM. The gnome Dialog: "Application not responding, with "force quit" or "wait" emerges again and again if you choose "wait". If you let things just work out, LibreOffice crashes/closes after ~ 3h. I tried the same Document with only 100 sets out of the database, and it works fine and smoothly, only a short delay after it "creating documents" dialog. I don't have time to check on what amount of mails it starts the observed behaviour. AOpenOffice on a Lenovo X200 with 4GB RAM (Kubuntu 23.10) works with this 1454 Addresses and the same Document without Problems.
Can you please: - test with several files as an output (say, 30 files) - check if the files progressively get bigger (the first one the smallest, the last one the biggest) - paste here your full version information copied from Help > About LibreOffice You didn't get a dialog to report the crash? And if possible, please share an example file for us to test too Thank you!

I tested with multiple PDF files output with 100 files - all files are between 102 and 104 kb big. So no growth of files.
And one thing - during this 3h there is a PDF file created, but it stays at 0kb size until LO crashes, and afterwards it is still 0kb, and if you try to open it, it will be opened by ubuntu as plain text file. I probably can attach this 0kb file here.

This shouldn't be a memory problem as it would only hold about 150 mb at once if the output is 1454×102 kb. I tested with your example file and a data source sheet with 1400 rows, using two fields inserted in the first frame. A) Merge as separate documents: When LO reports of "Creating documents", it takes about 2 seconds for 10 documents, so finishes in about 9 minutes. - Then it gets to the Save step: after waiting for about a minute, it only saved the first PDF. B) Merge as a single PDF: - the same amount of time was needed in the "creating documents" step, - but the Save step is frozen for ages and only finished after 16 minutes for me. The 22-mb file has the 1400 pages, as expected. So I am seeing a different issue to you. Could be worth it testing again with the recently released 7.6.3.
