Eric Leleu resolved PDFBOX-1632. -------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 2.0.0 Assignee: Eric Leleu Hi, When it was possible I have replaced ValidationException by a ValidationError description. I have committed these changes in the revision r1495799. A new category of error (8.x) has been added to represent unexpected errors during the PDF processing. Some ValidationException are still thrown in some special cases. In attachment, you can find a patch that can be applied on the branch-1.8.
