Hi Tilman,

thanks a lot for addressing this topic so incredibly fast. I wanted to do the 
review but source jars from

https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.7-SNAPSHOT/

are significantly smaller than the jars there containing class files only. That 
is because they just contain the META-INF directory but nothing else - at least 
as I found with "pdfbox-app-2.0.7-20170713.214057-144-sources"

I'm pretty sure though your code change is exactly what I suggested. If you 
could point me to the source codes of the 2.0.7-SNAPSHOT today before 16:00 - I 
will definitely have a look at it.

Cheers,

Daniel

Betreff: Re: Splitter.createNewDocument() always uses main memory only - this 
leads to out of memory when splitting large documents

See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3869

and try a snapshot from
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.7-SNAPSHOT/
(at the bottom)

Please give feedback whether this is what you wanted. Please do it quickly 
because a new version will be built on monday so either I'd have to revert 
before or we'll be stuck with this API.

Re: a global configuration - maybe at a later time. I'm not THAT convinced that 
it is needed.
