February 21, 2008 - London, England - Big Faceless Organization (BFO) has released version 2.10.1 of their Java PDF Library, featuring vast improvements to speed and memory when reading PDF’s.
This latest offering is a bugfix to 2.10, released late last week. The speed improvements can be attributed to a switch from a single to a multi-threaded architecture and use of the java.nio where possible.
"These changes result from problems we were having with a single 500MB PDF file", said CTO Mike Bremford. "The debugging process was taking so long we got fed up and spent two months profiling the library. The end-result is a big improvement for most users, and for certain use-cases like digitally signing large documents the memory footprint can be an order of magnitude smaller".
The new release also boasts the Swing Java PDF Viewer, now localized into a number of languages, including Japanese, Chinese, French, German and Spanish.
