The PDF import path set the shared reader's max_input_bytes to usize::MAX, so a PDF of any size was copied whole before parsing, with nothing but available memory to stop it.

The ceiling is now 1 GiB, which is far past any real document while still bounding the copy. Stream decoding keeps its existing immutable per-document limits.

Tests were not run locally; CI covers them.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Behavior Changes
    • PDF input is now capped at 1 GiB. Files larger than this limit may no longer open.

The import path set the reader's max_input_bytes to usize::MAX, so it accepted
a PDF of any size and copied it whole before parsing. A real ceiling of 1 GiB
keeps ordinary documents while refusing a file that would exhaust memory;
stream decoding keeps its own per-document limits.

Walkthrough

The PDF input options now limit PDF input to 1 GiB instead of using an unbounded input size.

Changes: PDF input limit

Layer / File(s) Summary
Set the PDF input size cap
crates/pdf/src/pages.rs
open_options uses the new MAX_PDF_INPUT_BYTES limit of 1 GiB instead of usize::MAX. Other options continue to use defaults.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: skylartaylor

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to af92d

This change caps PDF import input at 1 GiB, which limits memory use for very large files. Files larger than 1 GiB will now be rejected. No concrete merge risk was found.

Explanation

The title names the main change: the PDF import input is capped at 1 GiB. The raw summary confirms that open_options now limits input to 1 GiB instead of usize::MAX, so the title matches the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the problem (max_input_bytes set to usize::MAX, so whole PDFs were copied before parsing) and the fix (1 GiB ceiling, stream decoding limits unchanged). It states that tests were not run locally and CI covers them. The template asks for a 'How it was tested' section and a checklist. Those are missing or unaddressed: the testing section has no test details beyond deferring to CI, and the checklist items (cargo xtask ci, no panics, clean-room, ASSETS.md) are not marked or discussed. No issue link is provided, though the template asks for one if it exists.

Resolution

Add a 'How it was tested' section that names the tests added or run, and say whether the 1 GiB cap has a test. Complete the checklist, or confirm each item, especially that cargo xtask ci passes and that no unwrap/expect/panic or unchecked indexing was added. Link the related issue if one exists.
