convertToImage causes JVM crash on certain PDFs
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: PDFBOX-774
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-774
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2.1, 1.2.0
            Reporter: Niraj Bhawnani


I'm evaluating PDFBox and as part of the process I tried out several PDFs on 
it. One of the issues I found was on converting certain PDFs to images, it 
crashed the JVM with this message (Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 64-bit):

Of course, this seems like an issue with Java but it would be nice if PDFBox 
somehow worked around it. I tested this on 2 separate 64-bit Linux boxes as 
well as a 32-bit Windows box. Pretty much the same error on both platforms.
