OutOfMemory when extracting text from pdf
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: PDFBOX-778
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-778
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Mac OS X
            Reporter: Mario Sangiorgio


I have to extract text from hundreds of documents, but at a certain point I get 
an out of memory exception.
It seems that the memory leak is related to a single file that I attached.

Please let me know if you need more details.

This is the stacktrace of the exception:
