> I decided to evaluate pdfbox 3.0.0-alpha3 limits on merging large number of
> PDF files.
> I attempted to merge 7500 mails in separate PDF files on Windows. Given the
> limitation on the max size of the command line arguments, I was merging
> subsets of files. I ended up with 5 large PDF files, each around
> 500-600MBytes. I tried to merge these 5 files but eventually merge failed
> after running more than 6 hours. See error log at the bottom. I have large
> RAM 48GBytes. PDFBox was using up 13GB of memory max. Usage was changing
> between 600MB and 13Gb.
> I am wondering whether PDFBox could support Concatenation mode in addition to
> the full Merge mode. No need to create index table, etc. It could work as
> follow I suppose given my total lack of understanding how PDF works:
> # Read first file, process and append to the target PDF file. Delete PDF
> data and related meta data for this file except perhaps the last page number.
> # Read the second file and process in similar fashion as in the step 1
> # etc
> If Concatenation is possible, it would greatly reduce the cpu and memory
> overhead and reduce processing time.
> I admit merging of such large number of PDF files is not typical but the
> issue is valid.
