Mel Martinez commented on PDFBOX-506:
-------------------------------------
This sounds very familiar - wasn't this fixed a few months back?
In fact I think I may have suggested a patch for it? If only I wasn't going
senile and could remember more clearly ...
> PDFBox can't parse PDF documents from jstor.org

> The academic repository JStor makes papers available via PDF format. The
> PDFs give this origin information:
> Content creator: JstorPdfGenerator v1.0
> PDF producer: iText 2.0.6 (by lowagie.com)
> These PDFs open fine in Acrobat, Preview, FoxIt, etc., but they throw an
> exception in PDFBox:
> Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Error: Expected to read
> '%%EOF' instead started reading '1'

> I traced through the code, and it appears that PDFBox rejects these because
> they contain a 'startxref' that is not followed by a %%EOF two lines later:
> ...
> startxref
> 613364
> 1 0 obj

> Here's a small patch that will accept files that are missing the EOF after
> the startxref:
