There is no special option to do so, but perhaps there is a workaround. Just try to extract one page after the other, so that for every step the use of resources should be reduced.

Is it possible to provide us with a sample document, which crashes with a OutOfMemory. If so, please create an issue on jira [1] and attach the pdf to it. > So would it somehow be possible to read in the text of a pdf either > sequentially.. or may be load the PDF without images so size would be > restricted. During textextraction all operators, which aren't needed for the extraction itself, should be skipped. See [2] for details.
