+1 Good stuff! > what factor of (overall) speedup is to be expected? I ran some simple tests and it looks like PDF loading (PDDocument.load on a File) is now about 20% faster and text extraction (PDFTextStripper.writeText on an already loaded PDDocument and a dummy writer) about 30% faster than before Mel's patches and my additional improvements. PDFBox is still quite a bit slower than I'd hope, but this is already a pretty good improvement. PS. Mel, if you come up with other improvements, it'll be easier for us to review and apply the changes if you submit them as patches instead of full copies of the modified files. To create a patch, use "svn diff" in your checkout. BR, Jukka Zitting
