I checked the code, and we do not explicitly call reader.close(). I'll
make the change. Thanks.
BTW, after updating the code, is there an easy way to monitor the JVM on
Linux to make sure the file handles are being closed properly? I would
like to avoid a repeat of Tomcat crashing if possible.

Over the weekend, I swapped out the itextpdf-5.3.5.jar with
itextpdf-5.4.1.jar. The application ran fine for a little while before
generating an error in catalina.out as shown below. I restarted Tomcat,
and it worked for a little bit and failed with the same error. After
putting back itextpdf-5.3.5.jar, all is working again. At this point, I
think we will stay with 5.3.5, but I wanted to make someone aware of the
problem.
Since 5.4.0, PdfReader is no longer closing files implicitly as this
causes problems in some use cases.
Therefore, people switching to iText 5.4.x should call reader.close();
whenever they've finished using a reader instance.
