Hi Pierre, If you load from an input stream a temporary file will be created. Try loading from java.io.File or pass the filename. In addition you do not have to provide a scratch file. In that case your memory consumption will be much higher.
In addition the NonSequentialParser supports a system property org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.nonSequentialPDFParser.parseMinimal. Setting that to 'true' object references in catalog are not followed. That might help (I have never used that though, looked it up in the sources). Depends on your use case. What are you trying to do with the file? Which information are you looking for?
