Timo Boehme commented on PDFBOX-1641:
-------------------------------------
It is common that PDF documents may have garbage between referenced objects.
This is only a problem for the sequentially working parser. If one uses the
NonSequentialPDFParser (via PDDocument.loadNonSeq()) the garbage is not touched
and thus no problem. Please give it a test.
I'm not sure if the base parser should be changed since it is ok for it to
throw an IOException if the object cannot be read.
> Parsing of PDFs fails when no '<<' between directory objects

> Key: PDFBOX-1641
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1641
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parsing
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Niko Ojanen
> Attachments: pdfbox-1641_patch.txt, pdfbox-1641_sample.pdf
>
>
> PDF's that are missing {{<<}} between two COS directory objects are failing
> with parsing.
> E.g.
> {noformat}
> >>
> endobj
> 2 0 obj
> >>
> endobj
> 5 0 obj
> <<
> {noformat}
> The fix for handling these situations is adding under 20 lines of code to
> {{BaseParser.java}} (which I'd like to contribute).
