--------------------------------------
The problem seems to be related to the large COSStream on page 134. I can avoid the issue easily enough with the following patch, but it would be better to find the root cause instead of relying on a workaround like this.

------------------------------------------
Hello,
thank you for quick response. It is too heavy from me, where is problem. I use primary Apache Tika(great library) and I have seen, that problem was in PDFBox. Then I tried to debug, but I have lost in source code. :( The new information is for me, that problem is on page 134. Can I give you some help ? Or could you recommend what I should look for?
Best regards.

Jukka Zitting resolved PDFBOX-789.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: Jukka Zitting
I fixed this more properly in revision 1022431 by making the forceParsing option apply also here. See the -force option of the ExtractText command for an example of how this works.
