John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-1462:
-------------------------------------
I think we should close this - large flate-filtered streams are usually images,
and an image will need to be loaded into a BufferedImage once it is
decompressed, so we will just get OOM when trying to load the image, instead of
when decompressing it, which won't be of any help.
> Use file backed buffer for FlateFilter?

> org.apache.pdfbox.filter.FlateFilter#decompress can cause OOM (depending on
> the size of the document and configured heap of course.) Consider using
> something like

> to constraint memory pressure.
