A question about extracting files embedded in a PDF
Hi there,
Last time I tried this, I would get OOMs with PDFs containing lots of embedded files (or a few large images) because I believe it builds a sort of object model in memory holding all the data at once.
I'm hoping there might be an alternative approach available whereby files can be streamed out so the memory impact is low.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
- Chris

Try again with the 2.0 version, the scratch file mechanism has been
improved (see the docs of the PDDocument.load() methods).
