Description

PDDocument implements the Closeable interface a closes the underlying instance of COSDocument once it is closed itself, so that there is no need to use the finalize method to perform a sanity check about not closed resources. Furthermore it is a bad idea to overwrite finalize for different good reasons. See PDFBOX-4202 for some additional information
