In looking at this further, it seems that the ScratchFileBuffer.close method is only called when the document is closed. ScratchFileBuffer.clear is never called.
These are the only places where the pageHandler.markPagesAsFree is called. I believe this is the issue, since markPagesAsFree is never called, this content just keeps building up until the document is closed. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to find a configuration work around for this issue.

I am using PDF box and am having trouble creating large PDFS (50,000+ pages). The heap size of the process is capped, but with the temp file active (which I can see being created) I didn't think this would matter. Here is what I am doing in a very condensed form: MEMORY_SETTING = MemoryUsageSetting.setupTempFileOnly(); PDDocument pdf = new PDDocument(MEMORY_SETTING); for (...) { String text = [generate page text] PDPage page = new PDPage(PDRectangle.LETTER); try (PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page, PDPageContentStream.AppendMode.OVERWRITE, false)) { contentStream.endText(); doc.addPage(page); } When I do a heap dump, I see over 100 MG of memory taken by 42,000 instances of ScratchFileBuffer.currentPage Is there something I am going wrong here? Or is this a bug? It seems like I must be doing something wrong / forgetting to do something, since this is a problem in 2 and 3-RC1.
