Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2793:
-----------------------------------------

I noticed that PDDocumentNameDictionary had some support for a catalog level 
/Dests entry, which is why it keeps the catalog as a field. But it didn't work 
even after getting rid of an NPE in the code, I ended up getting no result and 
a warning {code}NameTreeNode does not have "names" nor "kids" objects.{code} 
The two /Dests entries are just not the same. So creating a new class is IMHO 
the correct solution, especially considering that it correctly runs this code 
on the users file:
{code}
        PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
        PDDocumentOutline documentOutline = 
documentCatalog.getDocumentOutline();
        PDOutlineItem firstChild = documentOutline.getFirstChild();
        PDOutlineItem secondChild = firstChild.getNextSibling();
        PDOutlineItem thirdChild = firstChild.getNextSibling();
        stripper.setStartBookmark(secondChild);
        stripper.setEndBookmark(thirdChild);
        System.out.println(stripper.getText(doc));
{code}

>          Components: PDModel
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.9, 1.8.10, 2.0.0
>            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr

> I have received a non public file that has a /Dests dictionary in the 
> /Catalog, and this is not supported by PDFBox. This is a concept from PDF 1.1 
> that is no longer used since PDF 1.2, but it is legal and not deprecated, 
> only discouraged.
> What needs to be done is to include an additional lookup in 
> PDOutlineItem.findDestinationPage() in the PDNamedDestination section. And an 
> additional getter in PDDocumentCatalog, and a new class to encapsulate that 
> "dictionary of names and corresponding destinations".
