> Key: PDFBOX-5670
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5670
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0 PDFBox
> Environment: Windows 10
> java version "1.8.0_381"
> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_381-b09)
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.381-b09, mixed mode)
> Reporter: Marcelo Modesto
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: ExtractTextAsRepeatableSubcommand.patch, Runtime
> comparasion.txt

>
> I've been using *ExtractText* command line tool (versions 2.0.23 and 2.0.29)
> to extract text from multiple PDFs files a time.
> After some tries I've decided changing *ExtractText* (2.0.29) to allow it to
> process a list of PDFs instead of a single one.
> My main goal was to improve processing time by invoking the JVM only once.
> As the version 3.0.0 uses _*picocli*_ I've decided to do some tests.
> I've attached a patch that allows you to use something like this:
> {code:bash}
> # Remember that you can use "@-file" to avoid a long command line
> java -jar pdfbox-app-3.0.0.jar export:text -console -i file1.pdf ...
> export:text -console -i fileN.pdf
> {code}
> With this modification I can process about 2500 files in about 3 minutes
> (max. memory usage ~ 1GB).
> Processing one PDF at a time takes about 1h15min (max. memory usage ~ 128MB).
> I would appreciate it if you could evaluate these and perhaps incorporate
> them into command line tools.
> Thank you!
