Sebastian Nagel commented on PDFBOX-1606:
-----------------------------------------
Metadata extraction also produces garbage for test_1e6a2e_001_test.pdf from
PDFBOX-1554 which can be parsed only by NonSequentialPDFParser (PDFParser
fails).
Is there a reason why NonSequentialPDFParser decrypts the document already in
the constructor (via initialParse())? This constrains a decryption handling
different from PDFParser where the PDDocument can be decrypted later via
decrypt() or openProtection().

> For some documents, NonSequentialPDFParser produces PDDocumentInformation
> with binary garbage in its fields (title/author/producer/etc). Invocation of
> PDDocumentInformation.getXXXDate() methods fails with "IOException:Error

> Classic PDFParser does not have problems with the same documents.
