--------------------------------------------
Summary: Illegal characters in XML output
Key: PDFBOX-1812
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1812
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Preflight
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Environment: Bug reproduced under Win 7, Ubuntu
Reporter: Johan van der Knijff
Fix For: 2.0.0
When running Preflight in XML mode, the latest Preflight version (I used the
JAR from build #747) sometimes produces output that contains characters that
are illegal in XML. This can cause unexpected behavior if such files are
further processed with tools that expect well-formed XML. See attached PDFs,
which all result in illegal characters in the description of a 1.0 Syntax
error, Error: Expected a long type. Output of older versions of Preflight
didn't contain these illegal characters; instead they would give something like
*actual='/O'*, *actual='Pages'*. etc. So I suppose this must have been caused
by a fairly recent change.
[NOTE: can't see how to add attachments here, if I can't get this working I
will create a Git repo with the example files and provide a link here]
