Subject: Pushback buffer is full
Reply-To: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help ...

I use pdfbox 1.6.0 to process a lot of documents and most of the time it does a 
superb job.  However, there are some documents it cannot seem to cope with and 
I was wondering if there's anything I could do about it.  They always seem to 
have the following characteristics:

  -  auto-generated PDFs consisting mostly of images (little or no real text)
  -  not especially large (tens of megabytes, rather than hundreds)

I am guessing from the exception (java.io.IOException: Push back buffer is 
full) that it is some kind of memory constraint, but as mentioned above, the 
data isn't that large.  For example I get the exception on a 25Mb file when my 
JVM has 1Gb memory allocation!  Looking at the file in a PDF viewer I see it 
has 3 pages, each one holding a single picture. Furthermore, other, much larger 
PDFs (hundreds of Mb) containing lots of text and images work perfectly.

Unfortunately I cannot supply an example file at this time for customer 
confidentiality reasons, but I was hoping someone might have overcome the same 
issue elsewhere?

Thanks for any tips ...

- Chris
