Jay Meyer commented on PDFBOX-1407:
-----------------------------------
IMHO, this is not a usage issue. I think this Jira issue should describe the
root cause and a workaround. This issue was simply closed with "Not a
Problem", when I do indeed have this problem. The documentation for PDFBox
does not describe the loadNonSeq() method at all - and the Javadoc does not
describe why a caller would choose to use loadNonSeq() vs. load().
Ideally, the load() method would have a default behavior to prevent the
ClassCastException from being thrown outside the library.
This Jira issue matched my search perfectly - others may have this issue, and I
recommend the resolution should be described in this Jira issue in detail.- or
in the docs/Javadocs in a future version.
