Out of memory when accept with TextFragmentAbsorber

[g.beda]

Hi

I am evaluating the Aspose.PDF. I installed the latest version from nuget (20.8.0) and activated the temporary license.
I have to migrate a project that currently use an old version of 3Heights extract (year 2011-2012) and basically I have to read all pdf text objects even with many pages (10000+). I have to extract whole text objects with all their properties (position, font, text and so on).

string pathExe = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
FileStream streamLicense = new FileStream($"{pathExe}\Aspose.Pdf.lic", FileMode.Open);
License license = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
license.SetLicense(streamLicense);

Aspose.Pdf.Document document = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(filePdf);
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber();
document.Pages.Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);

I got a “Out of memory error” on accept function

I’ve tried to elaborate a single page too with same result

Aspose.Pdf.Document document = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(filePdf);
for (int pagina = 1; pagina <= document.Pages.Count; pagina++)
{
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber();
document.Pages[pagina].Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
}

any tips?

take a look using the file i’ve send you in p.m… for the same pdf (about 10k pages) 3height extract took about one minute and half to set every page in a loop and read all text object (with no memory leaks)

In case it is related, I reported a very similar problem last year which has been confirmed but still no progress:

TextAbsorber uses 100% processor and memory and never finishes with some PDF

Hello, The following code with attached PDF causes 100% processor and runaway memory usage with Aspose.PDF for .NET 19.11, and never finishes (left it for 30 minutes): input.pdf (7.0 MB) var pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Document("input.pdf"); var absorber = new Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextAbsorber(); pdf.Pages.Accept(absorber); The PDF is actually generated by Aspose.CAD from a DWG, and seems to be a “bad” PDF. But it should not cause the problem in Aspose.PDF - Aspose.PDF. Can you please advise if pos…
