----------------------------------------------
Summary: Fix pdfbox eating up big chunks of memory for identical
mappings
Key: PDFBOX-1653
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1653
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: FontBox
Affects Versions: 1.8.2, 1.8.1, 2.0.0
Reporter: Christian Kohlschütter
Priority: Critical
Attachments: PDFBOX-1653.patch
pdfbox currently handles the PDF beginbfrange command (which creates a
character mapping for a range of CIDs to Unicode characters) in a very
inefficient way.
If a PDF document contains a range of CID 0 to CID 65535 with a mapping offset
of 0 (which translates to "CID values map 1:1 to Unicode characters", pdfbox
would nevertheless map each and every CID.
There apparently are PDFs with a lot of these 0-65535 mappings, and such a
single PDF may cause an OutOfMemoryError.
This patch detects zero-offset ranges and basically just skips them from an
explicit mapping.
There is some special handling for the space character included in the patch,
which might or might not be relevant.
