Summary:
Opening a Bluebeam Revu PDF eats memory, in range 10+ GB. I killed it at 30+GB. Behaviour happens both with quicklook (QuicklookUIService) and with Preview.app

Steps to Reproduce:
- Open Activity viewer, select memory tab and sort on used memory
- Open attached PDF with Preview.app

Expected Results:
- With preview one can inspect the multi-page PDF file

Actual Results:
- File opens, but takes a lot of time
- In Activity viewer you see it uses a lot of memory and it is hardly responsive

Configuration: The used PDF file is produced with Bluebeam Revu (https://www.bluebeam.com/solutions/revu-mac)
