Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-1511: ----------------------------------------- To verify this we need - a file with global resources - to create an uncompressed copy where we shuffle the names of the resources - merge it and see what happens. I did try it and no mayhem followed, there were no longer global resources in the merged file. However I can't share the file (PDFBOX-2048) but I need one that I can attach it here so that Michael and Kirk can also have a look. Now that GSoC2014 is done and weather is less warm I'll run my tests on the digitalcorpora site until I hit a file with global resources. {code} PDResources globalRes = document.getDocumentCatalog().getPages().getResources(); if (globalRes != null) { System.out.println ("global resources size: " + globalRes.getXObjects().size()); for (String key : globalRes.getXObjects().keySet()) { System.out.println ("global resource: " + key); } } else System.out.println ("no global resources"); {code} > pdfMerger App produces Garbage > ------------------------------ > > Key: PDFBOX-1511 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1511 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Utilities > Affects Versions: 1.7.1 > Environment: Win XP; Windows Server 2008 R2; java version "1.6.0_21", > Reporter: Michael Huber > Fix For: 1.8.7, 2.0.0 > > Attachments: 1.pdf, 2.pdf, PDFMergerUtility.java, > PDFMergerUtility.java.diff, PdfRenderer.java, targetPdfMergeJava.pdf, > targetPdfMergeUtilityApp.pdf > > > pdfbox Utility pdfMerger produces a merged document containing garbage. All > merged pdf files are contained but Strings are destroyed. > The source pdf files are created with graphviz and are readable without error > or disturbance both with Acrobat X and pdfbox pdfDebug Utility. > Another astounding thing is that a handcoded merger using pdfMergerUtility > class works fine when run within Eclipse Juno and creates same garbage when > run from cmd line (pls. see attached source PdfRenderer.java) > I checked everything that comes in mind to find the differences, e.g. Java > version, encoding/codepage issues, memory settings, found nothing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
