Hi Nick,
PDFBox doesn't support parse on demand, so the only solution is to
increase memory (-Xmx).
Yes you could hack into COSParser to ignore /Annots objects in a
dictionary. I don't know what mayhem will happen.

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
