             Summary: Slow performance when printing PDF (fix provided)
                 Key: PDFBOX-3103
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3103
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: FontBox
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Tomasz Pawlak


When printing a PDF document (4 pages, 177KB, link below) using command
{code}
java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.0-RC1.jar PrintPDF test.pdf
{code}
processing of the document before print takes about 15 seconds on system with 
Core i5-4670 processor. 

Most of the time is wasted on reading font files from system. The reason is 
that the font is read byte by byte in an unbuffered manner. The defective code 
is located in class {code}org.apache.fontbox.ttf.RADDataStream{code}, where new 
instance of {code}RandomAccessFile{code} is created without buffering.

I prepared a buffer wrapper over {code}RandomAccessFile{code} that adds 
buffering to {code}RandomAccessFile{code}. Use of the buffer in 
{code}RADDataStream{code} shortens printing time *5 times*, i.e., printing 
takes 3 seconds instead of 15s.

The wrapper class is augmented version of a class released at 
https://code.google.com/p/jmzreader/wiki/BufferedRandomAccessFile (Apache 
License 2.0).

Please integrate provided fix with original source of FontBox.
