PDF isn't a streamable read format – it is a random-access format, which
requires that some set of objects be kept around in memory. (the size and
amount of the objects actually varies based on the age and quality of the PDF
being read).

Subject: Re: [Podofo-users] PoDoFo allocating too much memory
Hi Enric,
Thanks for the reply. I just wish PdfStreamedDocument could be used for
reading too. As it stands it looks like PoDoFo may not be able to do the job
except for the smallest of PDF documents.
Is anyone aware of any other free C/C++ library for reading PDFs? I can’t find
one.
PoDoFo would have this section of the market cornered if they provided this
ability. I don’t want PoDoFo to allocate much memory while reading, I just
want the data streamed through. Then I can just worry about my own allocation.
Thanks,
Rob.

Maybe the answer of Dominik to another question few days ago can also answer
your question:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=CAOEXkaxVmqzoQ0z38M3VfY72uWqOOYHe103M3smE9sa8Zx6Kqw%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=podofo-users
The summary can be: "PoDoFo is oriented towards working with the object level
structure of a PDF, it has to keep lots of stuff in memory"
Regards,
Enric
