[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4875) Lazy load standard 14 fonts, only if needed

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4875?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17130307#comment-17130307 ]

Re "tablet or phone", PDFBox for Android is a different project, they may or may not use the changes. So this can help only if such mobile devices are running windows.

>                 Key: PDFBOX-4875
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4875
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Parsing, Text extraction
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.20, 3.0.0 PDFBox
>            Reporter: Alfred
>            Priority: Major
>              Labels: Optimization
>   Original Estimate: 1m
>  Remaining Estimate: 1m
>
> I am testing text extraction from PDF and profiling the execution.
> I found that the second biggest time consumer is the static code in Standard14Fonts that loads fonts from the pdf box jar.
> Looking at the code I realized we don't have to load all fonts statically, when the class loads.
> Not all PDFs need all fonts, so, if we lazy loaded them, only when needed, it will save some time and some memory.
> The memory part in particular would be important when running on a tablet or a phone, where the entire memory space of the app is 80M - 160M.
