I want to parse text from a PDF file and use
PDFTextStripper. Most of the PDF files work. But in the
following case I get an OutOfMemoryError.
The PDF file I want to parse is about 312k and my JVM
Xmx is about 512m.

I get the following stackTrace:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

I use pdfbox-0.7.3, tested on Win 2000, JVM 1.4.2.
The file that causes the error is to big to attach
(271K zipped).
Please mail me and I will send it.
