Actually, I am converting pdfs to tiff. We have a special case where our
pdfs all consist of full-page images. I use iText to get to the image
streams in the pdf, and use JAI to encode the images to tiff.
I am closing both the RandomAccessFileOrArray, and the PdfReader I use
(although I think PdfReader.close() also closes the
RandomAccessFileOrArray). Is there anything else I need to close?

I suppose you are converting tiff to pdf and not the other way around.
Check that your code is something like this:
RandomAccessFileOrArray ra = null;
try {
ra = new RandomAccessFileOrArray(imgb);
Image img = TiffImage.getTiffImage(ra, 1);
return img;
} finally {
if (ra != null)
ra.close();
}
It will make sure that the file is closed if some exception is throwned.

Subject: [iText-questions] Possible File Resource Leak
I have a program that basically batch converts pdfs to
multi-page tiffs
using iText. I am running into a problem. In my testing, I had the
program batch convert 12,000 pdf files to multi-page tiff.
The program
worked like a charm for 8 hours, then it hit an exception:
"To many open
files." The program logged the exception and continued for 8
more hours
before hitting the same exception again. After that, the
exception came
more frequently, every 2 hours or so.
I have checked my code, and am closing file streams as I finish with
them. I was wondering how likely it is that iText may not be properly
releasing resources, and where I should look in the code to see.
Thank you,
John Pruitt
