Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-1232:
--------------------------------------------
Hmmm, ok, so the improvement is, that no exception is thrown and the stream is
decoded. But why is the result empty, does this make sense? Can you share the
pdf with us? If not can you share it with me in private?

> The zlib (the unlying spec for Flate compression) does not require an
> Z_STREAM_END to terminate the compression. The Java InflateInputStream is
> really assuming that you are reading a zip or gzip file which will always
> have a Z_STREAM_END (Z_STREAM_END is a constant in the zlib library which
> Java calls natively) . So the following chunk decodes fine using the jcraft
> zlib decoder, but fails using the InflateInputStream.

> The blob is 72, -119, 3, 0, 13 decimal. It decodes to an empty string.
> The fix is to use Inflater and check to see if it has consumed all of the
> input buffer and make sure it has nothing to write into the output buffer.
