This happens with 2.0:

> Image rendering is cached by {{DefaultResourceCache}} per-document using soft
> references. As described in the [FAQ|https://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/faq.html],
> this can lead to an {{OutOfMemoryError}} when processing, e.g. many documents
> in parallel. The configuration of this cache is per-document and it is
> initialized with the default.
> {code}
> // document-wide cached resources
> private ResourceCache resourceCache = new DefaultResourceCache();
> {code}
> This requires all call sites be modified to disable it, some of which may be
> in 3rd party code. The ask is to static factory to configure the default
> globally, which would return a new {{DefaultResourceCache}} when called. This
> would let a user specify a new static factory, e.g. one that returns a custom
> cache or {{null}} if disabled.
> Soft references are a problematic caching scheme, which degrades poorly. It
> is very likely that the many and large image fragments causes GC promotion
> (eden=>young=>old) which requires a full GC to collect. Under memory/cpu
> pressure, the GC can devolve into a death spiral of collecting the minimal
> heap space to match its pause time constraints, leading to repeated GCs due
> to soft reference pollutions and an eventual OOME. If caching was set, it
> might be preferable to be size-based (by rough byte-size) and perhaps tied
> into {{MemoryUsageSetting}} main memory configuration.
