Brandon Lyon updated PDFBOX-2225:
---------------------------------
Description:
Edit: Problem confirmed to exist in 1.8.1 and 1.8.6
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

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
