Hi all, I see the following lines in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/trunk/lucene/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/lucene/LucenePDFDocument.java
... stripper.writeText( pdfDocument, writer ); // Note: the buffer to string operation is costless; // the char array value of the writer buffer and the content string // is shared as long as the buffer content is not modified, which will // not occur here. String contents = writer.getBuffer().toString(); ... Can somebody explain me the "Note:" which is attached to these lines? I'm worried about performance in case of large PDF's. Is all text stored in the single String object? Wouldn't this lead to performance issues? Kind regards, Jochen
