Henning Bermeyer commented on PDFBOX-1835:
------------------------------------------
Please continue investigating on this, since I have the same problem with
PDFBox 1.8.3.
I'm afraid I am not allowed to add an actual PDF for the same reasons as Johnny
Minty. But I can add another stack trace.

I wonder under which circumstances the data structure of a PDF may result in
reference loops in dictionaries, so the String serialization runs into endless
recursion.
