Hi,

I need to extract images and text from PDF files. To speed things up I have started to run image and text extraction in parallel. In essence I am calling DAExtractPageText and DAGetPageImageList in 2 threads for each page. This works great so far (speed up around 50%) but I am not sure if it's a smart thing to do.

Does anybody know if this is OK?

I am wondering if this is still working fine for you ?

There are certain areas of the library where multithreading is an issue but this is mainly caused by the GDI+ routines and rendering.
