No, it looks like you're on to something there. I've created an issue on JIRA (PDFBOX-910) added the patch (revision 1040218) and marked it as resolved. Nice catch!
---- Thanks, Adam From: "martijn.list" <martijn.l...@gmail.com> To: dev@pdfbox.apache.org Date: 11/25/2010 01:30 Subject: Missing else in readUntilEndStream? It looks like there are two missing else parts in BaseParser#readUntilEndStream. The last part when trying to match "endstream" contains this: if(byteRead==M){ //found the whole marker pdfSource.unread( ENDSTREAM ); return; } But what happens when the last character is not "m" (for example endstreaX). Because there is no else statement it seems that "endstrea" is never written. Shouldn't it be: if(byteRead==M){ //found the whole marker pdfSource.unread( ENDSTREAM ); return; } else { out.write(ENDSTREAM, 0, 8); } Similar thing happens happens below when matching "endobj". If the last character does not match "j". "endob" is not written: if(byteRead==J){ //found whole marker pdfSource.unread( ENDOBJ ); return; } shouldn't it be: if(byteRead==J){ //found whole marker pdfSource.unread( ENDOBJ ); return; } else { out.write(ENDOBJ, 0, 5); } Am I missing something?
