Hi all! I have a requirement for PDFBox memory management where a multi-threaded process that is generating PDF files (one per thread, at most) should share a certain total amount of RAM (any excess should use scratch files). This is because PDFs are in the order of thousands of pages and in-memory resources must come from a limited, common pool for efficient use of heap memory.
Is there any mechanism available for this purpose? MemoryUsageSetting appears to control each PDF separately, but I need more flexibility, i.e. some sort of pooling of RAM/file resources. I've looked a little into the improvements in 3.0 regarding the "stream cache" and it could be a solution, albeit with some extra work. Any ideas? C.D.
