Hi Paulo, I have an observation regarding iText. After the signing process is complete the application don't release the amount of memory which was used in the signing of the pdf
Example: When the Java application was launched the system memory was at 100 MB, when signing process just have to start the system memory is at 105 MB, after the signing process is compeleted the memory goes to 120MB. Now it seems that it took 20MB for iText to sign the PDF document (This may vary depending upon the size of the PDF document which is fine keeping in view that iText loads the compelete PDF in one go). Question is that after the signing is done the memory stays at 120MB. It might come down to 119 MB but don't come back to 105 MB. It seems that iText is not releasing the memory it took to sign the pdf why is that ?
