Description

I see this problem has been posted about two years before, and the poster said it has been fixed in 2.0.0 version, but now I face this problem when I try to parse a pdf file with image in it. I also add logs before and after PDFTextStripper.writeText to mark the time spend, it looks like it takes quite long to writeText to a StringWriter (sometimes 15s+ for a 220K pdf file with image in it). The running environment is in our production server but not local.
