Hi - I am trying to load a document that has a lot of annotations (50k+) (i.e. comments, highlights, etc) However, just calling 'load' on the document is extremely slow, and uses a lot of memory (2G+).
I actually don't need to use or access annotations at all (I'm using PDFBOX through a separate library that doesn't need them), but do need access to the PDDocument. Is there a way to load a document, but ignore all annotations when parsing? Similarly, ignoring all items such as fonts associated with those annotation objects. I was browsing through PDFParser#initialiParse and COSParser, but a little out of my depth. Even something as simple as ignoring objects if they are of some 'type' i could check. Any suggestions, even partial, would be helpful. Thanks. Nick
