when I try to convert the linked PDF below (these are legal and non-copyrighted, but the link expires in about 6 days from now), with the settings right to left scanning and output set at 240 dpi. Is there any way to increase the memory to allow for the output to go beyond the 167 dpi default? Many thanks

That PDF seems to have the page size set wrong--it claims to be 69 x 91 inches, so using an output dpi of 250 causes the input dpi to be 500, which means the source bitmap size is 34500 x 45500 and consumes 1.5 GB(!) of memory. That's why it's crashing. You need to use a much smaller odpi, like say 30. Maybe I'll put in some safeguards for this in a future version. On this doc you probably also want to use the -r option to go right to left. See output (red text) below for your tip-off:
