Hello,

We are using iText for some pdf manipulation in our application which runs
on IBM WebSphere Application server. I am getting java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
error while trying to create a PdfReader instance with the following code:

PdfReader pdfReader1 = new PdfReader(thisContent);

where thisContent is a Instance of FileInputStream. The FileInputStream was
created for a PDF file of 87MB size with 1529 pages. The PDF contains
scanned images of different documents. The code is trying to count the
number of pages using following command:

pageCount = pdfReader1.getNumberOfPages();

Is there any alternate way to get the number of pages? Or is there another
way to create PdfReader which is less memory intensive? The JVM setting for
WebSphere is configured to have max heap size equal to 1024M. The server has
physical memory of 2GB.

Can someone please point me to the right direction? I would really
appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!
Suresh
