Brandon Lyon created PDFBOX-2225:
------------------------------------
Summary: ClassCastException in PDFMergerUtility.appendDocument
Key: PDFBOX-2225
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2225
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Utilities
Environment: Windows 7 64-bit, JDK8, pdfbox-1.8.1.jar
Reporter: Brandon Lyon
Priority: Minor
Wouldn't allow me to select 1.8.1 as the affected version ("Version with id
'1.8.1' does not exist"), so I left it blank
The following exception will occur if any type of Exception other than
IOException is thrown within a particular try-catch in
PDFMergerUtility.appendDocument:
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException cannot be
cast to java.io.IOException
For the version I am using (1.8.1), the problem occurs on line 294
The problem is that the author mistakenly assumed that the only exception which
could be caught was IOException. I recommend that the cast be removed, and that
either the additional checked exceptions be thrown by appendDocument or wrapped
with an unchecked exception
Also, anyone seeing this may want to investigate why an
IndexOutOfBoundsException is occurring here, though this is obviously a
separate issue
