Brandon Lyon commented on PDFBOX-2225:
--------------------------------------
Replaced jars with latest version. Problem persists. I would include the PDFs,
but they're being generated dynamically, and I'm probably not at liberty to do
so anyways. Suffice it to say, they are each two-pages, have several form
elements (all text), and are identical except for the values of the fields.
Here's part of the stack-trace (irrelevant data removed):
2014-07-18 11:18:39,159 ERROR [io.undertow.servlet] (default task-12)
ares.web.DocumentServlet: Ares Servlet: Uncaught exception: :
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException cannot be
cast to java.io.IOException

> 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
