Michael, thanks for your prompt response. I've already adopted an anonymous wrapper instance of BufferedInputStream that override the *close* method.
What is confusing me is the JavaDoc sentence in PdfReader class: /** * Reads and parses a PDF document. * @param is the <CODE>InputStream</CODE> containing the document. The stream is read to the * end but is not closed * @throws IOException on error */ But now you confirm me that this is a correct work-around.
