[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4477) Large encrypted file takes days to be parsed

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4477?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16782359#comment-16782359 ]

Yes the file is encrypted, and the permissions probably prohibit text extraction, this is very common. I didn't try text extraction myself, I just looked at the file with PDFDebugger. You can still extract text programmatically, or use the owner password with the command line utility.

> As reported by [~slavago] in TIKA-2832. File is confidential but I have it. Initial findings:
> - File is AES256 encrypted with empty user password
> - File has about 1000 objects
> - File is a tagged PDF
> - HashMap in SecurityHandler grows to 100000?!
> - Using an IdentityHashMap speeds up the process dramatically (parsed in a few seconds), and it may also be a better solution that what was done in PDFBOX-4453
> Todo:
> - Read description of IdentityHashMap again
> - Find out why the HashMap grows so much. Could it be that identical objects are stored twice? Or does the file have many direct objects?
