It depends on the cause for that exception:
- your code has a memory leak - PDFBox has a memory leak - one or more of the pdfs you are processing is malformed or somehow criticial - something else I'm missing .... As a start, please post the relevant part of your code. Run your app in a profiler to analyze the memory consumption and garbage collection. Try to detect critical pdfs and share them with us.
