The originating error is "Could not load file or assembly"
How would graphic resources cause that?

Keep reading the error message:
Not enough memory resources are available to process this command
That can be memory limited, handle limited, or other resources or issues, like memory fragmentation.

However I was asking about the following specifically which is why I referenced it:
"Bitmaps, Pens, or other drawing objects."
So you are suggesting that they could have loaded so many graphic objects that it is those that caused the memory to fill up and that it did so without running into a graphic resource error which I believe is a different error?

Yes! Creating such objects and not properly freeing them CAN and DOES trigger out of memory exceptions, not resource exceptions.
I don't have to time to write up a test app right now, but there's nothing stopping you from trying it.
Oh, and exhausting the Windows handle table can crash various things in Windows, like an OpenFileDialog or MessageBox, and even crash Windows itself.
Every object type in Windows has a handle assigned to it. A handle is just a void pointer to a data structure in memory. Windows, buttons, menus, icons, bitmaps, pens, mutexes, threads, a structure, opening a file, basically, anything in Win32 that has a pointer or handle type that begins with "h", all of these objects end up in the handle (or object) table in Windows. Pretty much ... EVER-Y-THANG.

Can dotNet run out of memory if the computer has plenty?
If you run e.g. Task Manager | Performance | Memory, or Resource Monitor | Memory (I guess there are similar tools from 3rd parties as well), and they tell you that you've got lots of free memory, could dotNet still report that you are out of memory? Can it decide not to use what is available?
If any free (that includes 'Standby' in Resource Monitor terms) memory can be used by dotNet, keeping a window open with Resource Monitor or Task manager would be a very simple way to see if your problem is with memory or with, say, handles.

Yes, for a variety of reasons. For example, large heap fragmentation. You try to allocate a large object, but there is not a "hole" in the Large Object heap big enough to allocate the object, even though there is technically enough memory to hold it if you add up all the "holes" to get the size of "available" memory.
Quote: If any free (that includes 'Standby' in Resource Monitor terms) memory can be used by dotNet, keeping a window open with Resource Monitor or Task manager would be a very simple way to see if your problem is with memory or with, say, handles.
If you're running into a handle exhaustion problem, if you try to even launch Task Manager, you can end up with it crashing just trying to create its own window.
You are thinking in simple terms of everything. "Free memory" is treated as a single contiguous block in Task Manager, but that's not how memory is really represented. What you're not seeing is "largest available block" of memory.
You also seem to think Windows can track an unlimited number of objects in the Object Manager handle table. It can't. Read up on it here[^].

You should be able to track it down with GFlags

First noting of course that a 32 bit application is not going to use 10 GB of memory even if it exists. Last time I looked into this (last year) the apps that had been built years ago required setting a flag explicitly to make them into 64 bit apps. There it a attribute somewhere that you can read (and log) to see exactly whether it is 32/64 bit. I suggest using that explicitly to check.
Second what is missing in your description is whether you have also been modifying that same application for years. If you haven't then the problem is with the environment or due to load. If you have been modifying then the problem could either be due to the modifications or to load.
You can test for load problems at least for memory by starting the application up with a reduced memory space. That artificially forces memory problems to show up. Of course you must still exercise the application after that.
JoshWilliams wrote: Here is the stack trace:
The stack trace for a resource exhaustion is generally almost worthless because the exhaustion is just telling you where it ran out.
It does NOT tell you, most of the time, where the code exists that is using it all up.
The entire application is responsible for the resources. So code completely un-associated with the code that you are looking at could be doing something that uses it up.
I will mention the following because the error occurs when loading an assembly. This unfortunately is very esoteric and not easy to follow (even when someone already knows something about memory handling.) But it is something that developers should be aware of.

I think there might be a way to increase this. If you do change it and the error goes away you must keep in mind that you have put a bandaid on a gushing wound and you still need to find the actual problem.

This here is what I would guess is the most likely answer.
Look at the build configuration and explicitly make everything build x64.
There may exist scenarios where you would have to explicitly build x86, but explicit x64 is what's generally been the golden hammer for these things in my life.
It's not truly "out of memory". It's just confused.
Would lean toward this being near certainty if you hit it right upon app start or possibly the first shot at some specific app action.

If I want to publish an app for public consumption (in the Microsoft Store), in the past I just compiled it to AnyCpu, and targeted a low enough .NET Framework to not worry about the prerequisite runtime (that was probably wrong). But now I'm updating my app to .NET 7, and I have to assume most users won't already have it. Do I need to compile 3 separate packages, one each listing a prerequisite for the .NET 7 runtime for x64, x86, and ARM, or will it install only the correct version if I mark them all as prerequisites, or is there some way to set prerequisites conditionally? What is the right use and purpose of AnyCpu if you always need to confirm that the right, specific runtime is installed? I'm a self-taught, very amateur programmer, so I think I need to stick to the simple installers Visual Studio creates rather than some self-assembled command-line system that might be able to manually figure out what needs to be installed on every computer.

What you actually need to do specifically is test it in all of the environments you are going to claim to support. If it works (when tested) then you do not need to do anything differently. If it fails testing then you will need to decide what changes are needed.

You might consider whether .NET 7 is appropriate versus .NET 6. The pattern has generally been for every other .NET release to be an LTS (long-term service~3yrs) release versus an STS (~1.5yrs) release.
.NET 7 will hit end of support May 14, 2024.
.NET 6 will hit end of support November 12, 2024.
Meanwhile, we should see an LTS of .NET 8 in November.

There is no difference in type of PDF between a PDF with all text and a PDF with all images and a PDF with both text and images. I assume image PDF means image in a PDF. When an image is extracted from a PDF it is the same as if the image was not in the PDF.
