Unfortunately the PDF extractor has been known to be the slowest 
extractor for a while now. We put a timeout in place because complex 
PDFs really made the entire extraction process way too slow.

We could add some option for this, on the other hand, 20 seconds to 
extract information about a PDF should be more than enough.

The only way around this right now is to remove the timeout in the 
tracker-extract code.
