[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-4726) PDFRenderer uses excessive memory

Ben Manes created PDFBOX-4726:
---------------------------------

             Summary: PDFRenderer uses excessive memory
                 Key: PDFBOX-4726
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4726
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ben Manes
         Attachments: heap.png, stacktrace.png

{{PDFRenderer.renderImage}} uses BufferedImage with only in-memory data. This is uncompressed and can use excessive memory. This occurs despite setting \{{MemoryUsageSetting}} being configured on the document for disk space, which should be honored.

This [stackoverflow answer|https://stackoverflow.com/a/53205617/19450] suggests using a {{WritableRaster}} backed by a temporary file. This change cannot be done in user code and requires updating the {{PDFRenderer}}.

I am currently trying to track down a PDF that caused out-of-memory issues. From the heap dump only a few {{BufferedImages}} where in memory, but they took 6gb in their uncompressed data.
