The PDF that is actually causing the issue contains sensitive information so
I'm trying to recreate with a fresh doc. My first attempt at this was not
successful (worked fine) so I'm going to keep trying.
I will also try bumping up the versions as suggested... not sure how much of a
migration that will be. hopefully not much being they are minor versions.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.1

> Tika version: 1.13
> PDFBox Version: 2.0.1
> We are using an application that attempts to make PDFs searchable using
> Apache Tika which in downstream uses PDF Box to parse PDFs to extract the
> body of a PDF in text to make it searchable.
> We allow basically any PDF from anywhere to come in as long as it isn't too
> large (9 MB).
> However, we are noticing some PDFs, even though they are not that large in
> file size, can cause zip bombs to eat up all the heap space and crash the JVM.
> There is some sort of Object[] array that has millions of
> {code}org.apache.pdfbox.text.TextPosition{code}
> Here is a snapshot of the heapdump:

> Is there a setting to limit the size of this particular array so that it
> doesn't cause a memory bomb?
