Alfred commented on PDFBOX-4875:
--------------------------------
I don't want to annoy you guys insisting.
I understand pdfbox for android is a different project.
The memory savings are probably still important even we we're not targetting
devices..
I saw 3 memory related bugs only in the past 2 days: PDFBOX-4690, PDFBOX-4718,
PDFBOX-4862
If we can save some memory by only loading the fonts that are actually
required, it will help a bit.
A bit here, a bit there, it adds up ...
> Lazy load standard 14 fonts, only if needed

> Key: PDFBOX-4875
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4875
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Parsing, Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.20, 3.0.0 PDFBox
> Reporter: Alfred
> Priority: Major
> Labels: Optimization
> Attachments: PDFBOX-4875.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 1m
> Remaining Estimate: 1m
>
> I am testing text extraction from PDF and profiling the execution.
> I found that the second biggest time consumer is the static code in
> Standard14Fonts that loads fonts from the pdf box jar.
> Looking at the code I realized we don't have to load all fonts statically,
> when the class loads.
> Not all PDFs need all fonts, so, if we lazy loaded them, only when needed, it
> will save some time and some memory.
> The memory part in particular would be important when running on a tablet or
> a phone, where the entire memory space of the app is 80M - 160M.
