It appears that under the hood pdfbox can work with either a

and that tika uses RandomAccessBuffers for better performance. I'd like
to sacrifice this performance for less RAM usage.
Is this possible?
I think it should be a fairly simple change, to test if we have a
TikaInputStream, and if so one with a File, and if so use the File
constructor to PDFBox rather than the stream one.
I don't know the PDFBox related code well though, so I'll wait for others
to comment on the sanity of this... :)
