hummus.createReader can't release resource in Win 32

[hl-a-k]

In Win 32, I use
hummus.createReader
to create a reader.

And then I want to delete the file, but I found I can't do it, because reader don't release resource.
The reader don't have end() method.

I have the same problem using Windows 7:
hummus.createReader(pathToFile)
blocks the file it reads
How can it be 'closed' to move/delete/update the initial PDF file?

There are no problems on a mac so it may be specific windows problem

please refer

that's cause win32 blocks other file pointers if ones opened for reading. you can either:

1. scope out pdfreader
2. use PDFRStreamForFile as source for pdfReader, which you can then close with its own method (.end)

Thank you, it is a better way.

const inStream = new hummus.PDFRStreamForFile(f1);
  var input = hummus.createReader(inStream);
....
  inStream.close()

This Library is wonderful, but lack demo and doc.
