Timo Boehme commented on PDFBOX-1226:
-------------------------------------
The file is quite special in that it contains nearly 2 Mill. objects and 925354
pages. With the current parsers it will be read completely until one can use
the API to get the page count. This is also true for PDFBOX-1199 because for
the compatibility with the existing code base it has to parse all objects
(however: there is a 'parseMinimalCatalog' mode which can be used in this case
to parse only a smaller number of objects). So far PDFBOX-1199 has not bean
landed because encryption is currently not supported. You would have to build
your own library using SVN and the files in PDFBOX-1199.
For the time being in order to parse the sample file you will need approx. 2GB
of heap space (tested on my machine, took 153 seconds to parse and return page
count). With lower amount of memory GC will take most of the processing time.

> I have a pdf ( 397 MB) and I am trying to count the pages.
> I am able to open the PDF with AdobeReader 9, but no with FoxitReader.
> Code:
> PDDocument doc = null;
> File temp = null;
> RandomAccessFile rand = null;
> int nr = 0;
> try {
> //create a temporary file needed by the PDFBox when dealing
> with PDFs really really large
> temp = new File("e:/temp.tmp");
> //using random access file needed for PDF really large
> rand = new RandomAccessFile(temp,"rw");
> doc = PDDocument.load(file,rand);
> nr = doc.getNumberOfPages();
> }catch(Exception e){
> e.printStackTrace();
> }
