[clamav-users] pdf_find_and_extract_objs: Timeout reached in the PDF parser while extracting objects
In my log I'm seeing a lot of:

Sep 18 11:27:34 proxy-cbf-1 clamd[791]: LibClamAV Error: pdf_find_and_extract_objs: Timeout reached in the PDF parser while extracting objects.
Sep 18 11:46:45 proxy-cbf-1 clamd[791]: LibClamAV Error: pdf_find_and_extract_objs: Timeout reached in the PDF parser while extracting objects.
Sep 18 11:47:55 proxy-cbf-1 clamd[791]: LibClamAV Error: pdf_find_and_extract_objs: Timeout reached in the PDF parser while extracting objects.

What is the timeout value?
Can it be configured?
Is there any way of preserving the files for further analysis?

See NEWS.md in the top level directory of the ClamAV distribution,
look for 'CL_ENGINE_MAX_SCANTIME'.

man clamd.conf

See in 'LeaveTemporaryFiles' in particular, and possibly 'ForceToDisk'.
