The parser writes temporary files while turning non-seekable input (embedded font programs, CMaps, decoded object streams, incremental-update output) into seekable data. Until now they always went to the JVM temporary directory via File.createTempFile(prefix, suffix), with no way to place them elsewhere, and the in-memory buffer threshold MAX_BUFFER_SIZE was a fixed constant. Add TempFileHandler as the single creation point for these files, with an optional process-wide default directory and an optional per-thread override that takes precedence. Route InternalInputStream, InternalOutputStream and COSDocument.saveTo through it. Make the buffer threshold configurable via SeekableInputStream.setMaxBufferSize. Both settings are opt-in: with nothing configured the behaviour is identical to before (JVM temp directory, 10240-byte threshold), so this is backward compatible. This lets a caller keep temporary files inside an isolated, per-thread working directory. Implements the approach discussed in veraPDF-library issue #1420.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe parser centralizes temporary-file creation with process-wide and per-thread directory settings. ChangesTemporary file and buffer configuration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Configuring a small in-memory buffer threshold may still retain up to one read buffer beyond that limit before temporary-file backing is selected. This is bounded but violates the new configuration's expected limit and should be corrected before relying on strict memory constraints. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Limit each read to the remaining maximumSize. ASBufferedInFilter.BF_BUFFER_SIZE is 2048, so stream.read(temp) can exceed a smaller maxBufferSize before InternalInputStream is created.

Summary
The parser writes temporary files while turning non-seekable input (embedded font
programs, CMaps, decoded object streams, incremental-update output) into seekable
data. Until now these always go to the JVM temporary directory via
File.createTempFile(prefix, suffix), with no way to place them elsewhere, and thein-memory buffer threshold
MAX_BUFFER_SIZEis a fixed constant.This makes it hard to embed the parser in a server that wants temporary files inside
an isolated, per-worker working directory, so they can be cleaned up deterministically
and kept off a shared temp location.
The change adds an opt-in way to control both, following the approach suggested by
@bdoubrov in veraPDF/veraPDF-library#1420.
Changes
org.verapdf.io.TempFileHandleras the single creation point for thesetemporary files, with an optional process-wide default directory
(
setDefaultTempDirectory) and an optional per-thread override (setTempDirectory/
clearTempDirectory) that takes precedence — the natural fit for a server thatprocesses one document per worker thread.
InternalInputStream,InternalOutputStreamandCOSDocument.saveTonow createtheir temporary files through
TempFileHandler.SeekableInputStream.setMaxBufferSizemakes the in-memory buffer thresholdconfigurable (default unchanged at 10240 bytes).
Backward compatibility
Both settings are opt-in. With nothing configured, behaviour is identical to before
(JVM temp directory, 10240-byte threshold), so this is fully backward compatible. The
code stays Java 8 compatible, and all existing parser tests pass.
