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?
