Description

Plugin does not completely garbage collect memory used by local PDFs.

The plugin resets down to a certain point but still keeps a pointer or reference to the previously opened PDF.

Becomes an issue with large size PDFs being opened and reopened after an extended period of time on the device. The memory consumption then forces errors in the application and eventually causes it to crash or show black boxes when rendering PDFs.
