As others have already answered the intrinsic limitation at 2GB has been lifted in 5.2.0 and finally fixed in 5.3.0. Please be aware, though, that this does not mean you can handle a 4GB PDF like any small 100KB one. You should take care and use constructors that don't hold the whole file in memory but instead read objects only when they are needed using random access and store manipulated or newly created ones early to disc. Furthermore you even then have to be prepared to have quite some memory at hand as generally at least the cross references and some structure defining objects are read completely into memory which already can amount to a lot of memory.
