Andreas Lehmkühler updated PDFBOX-1808:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: Screenshot2014-01-21-19-51-24.png
I ran another test and came to the same result. I used ExtractText (unmodified,
current trunk) to extract the text of the attached pdf.
The attached graphic shows the heap space during the execution and you might
notice that all the allocated memory was freed at 19:51:16 when I performed a
System.gc after closing the pdf.
Maybe you should du/use something else to monitor the memory usage.
> PDFTextStripper.getText - hight memory usage

> Hello,
> i'm trying to extract text from pdfs but i can find that the PDFTextStripper
> use a lot of memory.
> With a pdf that have 2676 pages (for a 4.6Mo size) it use 1.5Go memory.
> I also constat that the memory is'nt free after the getText method is called.
> You can see my code bellow:
> double virgule = Math.pow(10, 2);
> System.out.println("START - Total memory (Mo): " +
> Math.round((Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/1000000) * virgule) / virgule);
> PDDocument cd = PDDocument.load(file);
> System.out.println("PDDocument getNumberOfPages - Nombre de
> pages: " + cd.getNumberOfPages());
> System.out.println("PDDocument load - Total memory (Mo): " +
> Math.round((Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/1000000) * virgule) / virgule);
> String pdfText = "";
> try{
> PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
> pdfText = stripper.getText(cd);
> System.out.println("PDFTextStripper getText - Total
> memory (Mo): " + Math.round((Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/1000000) *
> virgule) / virgule);
> stripper.resetEngine();
> stripper = null;
> System.out.println("PDFTextStripper resetEngine - Total
> memory (Mo): " + Math.round((Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/1000000) *
> virgule) / virgule);
> }
> finally{
> if( cd!=null ){
> cd.close();
> cd = null;
> System.out.println("PDDocument close - Total
> memory (Mo): " + Math.round((Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/1000000) *
> virgule) / virgule);
> }
> }
> retour = new TextField(fieldName, pdfText, Field.Store.NO);
> System.out.println("TextField - Total memory (Mo): " +
> Math.round((Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/1000000) * virgule) / virgule);
> And the result into my output window:
> START - Total memory (Mo): 95.0
> PDDocument getNumberOfPages - Nombre de pages: 2676
> PDDocument load - Total memory (Mo): 121.0
> PDFTextStripper getText - Total memory (Mo): 757.0
> PDFTextStripper resetEngine - Total memory (Mo): 757.0
> PDDocument close - Total memory (Mo): 757.0
> TextField - Total memory (Mo): 757.0
> pdfText - Total memory (Mo): 757.0
> I also try to call System.gc() but the memory use is the same.
