-----------------------------------------
This is a duplicate of PDFBOX-1668. And yes, the solution works too. You can
close both :-)

> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-1796
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1796
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parsing
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3
> Reporter: Manfred Schauer
> Attachments: dls.pdf, rsag.pdf
>
>
> infinite loop at
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.BaseParser.parseCOSHexString(BaseParser.java:1010)
> private final COSString parseCOSHexString() throws IOException
> {
> ...
> // read till the closing bracket was found
> do
> {
> c = pdfSource.read();
> } while ( c != '>' );
> ...
> if pdfSource.read() returns EOF, the loop never terminates;
> Testcase:
> PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load (new FileInputStream("..."));
> 2 real world pdf-files that cause the loop could be attached; do not know if
> their PDF is completely valid, but at least they are displayed via Preview in
> MacOSX.
