             Summary: Memory Leak while converting pdf to images
                 Key: PDFBOX-4041
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4041
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ajit
         Attachments: File2_5Mb.pdf, PDFConverter.java, heap.jpg, output.txt

I am observing memory leak in PDF to images conversion simple program. I realise the PDF that I am converting is bit bigger in size.

Check the heap image and you will see that leak is happening even though I have flushed the buffered image and set it to null explicitly. I have also closed the document too.

!heap.jpg|thumbnail! If you notice the image, the process was running at 2 GBs in only two runs. I am not able to attach the heap, because of its bigger size. But note the image at the bottom and you will see that BufferedImage is taking about 500 MBs.

I have also provided the source code (few lines) and hoping I haven't done any stupid mistake.
