Description

Use of PDFBox 1.8.6 by Tika 1.6 is causing OOM errors with corrupt PDF files, due to a bug in PDFBox, see PDFBOX-2493. This makes Tika 1.6 unusable from inside a long-running webapp and I've had to revert to Tika 1.5. Although 1.5 also throws errors with the corrupt file it does not cause OOM errors.
