PDF extraction timeout

[Shyam Odedra <Sh...@symantec.com>]

Hi,

I am having an issue where my application must wait X amount of time before giving up on the PDF Extraction. The problem is that when I timeout on the thread doing the PDF Extaction, PDFBox is still working and has a handle on the output file. I need a way to timeout the extraction process and release the file handle.

Is there support for this already?

Thanks

No - you'd have to construct this yourself, e.g. by extracting one page 
at a time and then stop doing it if you think it's no longer fun.

There should not be any endless processing; if there is, please open an 
issue or upload the file somewhere.
