Description
Hi i am using this to get pdf text works well, but there is memory leak in this, i am using it as under
$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseContent($getdata[0]);
$pages = $pdf->getPages();
foreach ($pages as $page) {
echo $page->getText();
}
unset($parser);
unset($pdf);
unset($page);
unset($pages);
echo '<h1>Memory =', round(memory_get_usage() / 1000), ' KB</h1><br>';
Memory =63226 KB
How do i fix this, how can i release memory which is used.

Research direction
Reproduce the report with Parser::parseContent(), getPages(), and getText() from the issue snippet, measuring memory with memory_get_usage() before and after unsetting objects. Trace those entry points to identify whether retained parser or page data explains the growth; done means the reproduction no longer shows the reported unreleased memory.
