> Tika version: 1.13
> PDFBox Version: 2.0.1
> We are using an application that attempts to make PDFs searchable using Apache Tika which in downstream uses PDF Box to parse PDFs to extract the body of a PDF in text to make it searchable.
> We allow basically any PDF from anywhere to come in as long as it isn't too large (9 MB).
> However, we are noticing some PDFs, even though they are not that large in file size, can cause zip bombs to eat up all the heap space and crash the JVM.
> There is some sort of Object[] array that has millions of {code}org.apache.pdfbox.text.TextPosition{code}
> Here is a snapshot of the heapdump: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12875808/Pasted%20image%20at%202017_07_05%2002_26%20PM.png
> Is there a setting to limit the size of this particular array so that it doesn't cause a memory bomb?
