I tried to extract a very large pdf (300mb) and 900+ pictures and it keeps crashing because it filled the RAM.
I will take a look very the memory leak happens, but it is very annoying.

pdfextract is quite an old script, written before I implemented object enumerators or lazy parsing. As such it probably does a lot of object copies and does not handle big files well.

Could you share the file you are trying to parse? I will try to see if I can do something. Also which version of Ruby are you using?
