Hi All,
I am a very long user of PDFBOX from version 0.7.3. Recently I updated to the latest version i.e., v1.6.0 of PDFBOX into my application. But I was reported a strange problem from my customer stating that for some selected PDFs it throws exception. The same was fine with the version 1.1.0 of PDFBOX. Below is the error thrown in Eclipse JAVA IDE when I run the PDF (around 300 MB in size) with the version 1.6.0. org.apache.pdfbox.exceptions.WrappedIOException at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parse(PDFParser.java:240) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.load(PDDocument.java:1090) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.load(PDDocument.java:1054) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.main(PDDocument.java:1378) Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at org.apache.pdfbox.io.RandomAccessBuffer.expandBuffer(RandomAccessBuffer.java :151) at org.apache.pdfbox.io.RandomAccessBuffer.write(RandomAccessBuffer.java:131) at org.apache.pdfbox.io.RandomAccessFileOutputStream.write(RandomAccessFileOutp utStream.java:108) at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flushBuffer(BufferedOutputStream.java:65) at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flush(BufferedOutputStream.java:123) at java.io.FilterOutputStream.close(FilterOutputStream.java:140) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.BaseParser.parseCOSStream(BaseParser.java:448) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parseObject(PDFParser.java:552) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parse(PDFParser.java:184) In v1.1.0 without any memory allocation (ie using the option -Xmx), I was able to run the PDF successfully without this exception. But with the version v1.6.0, I need to use the option "-Xmx" option and allocate around 1250m size of memory to run the same pdf. Is there any work around to avoid this issue? Please advice.
