Fred Hansen commented on PDFBOX-1883:
-------------------------------------
1803 is still open because no committer has yet gotten around to incorporating
the patch there.
A key question is whether that patch would resolve your problem. If so, you
should vote to 1803. If not, please let me know what about the behavior should
change.
Thanks, Fred Hansen
