---------------------------------------
Summary: Metadata stream should not be compressed
Key: PDFBOX-3087
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3087
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 1.8.10, 1.8.11, 2.0.0
Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.8.11, 2.0.0
In the 32000 PDF spec, in "14.3.2 Metadata Streams" it is almost suggested not
to compress metadata, because
{quote}
PDF documents are often made available on the Web or in other environments,
where many tools routinely examine, catalogue, and classify documents. These
tools should be able to understand the self-contained description of the
document even if they do not understand PDF.
{quote}
The implementation of PDMetadata produces an uncompressed metadata, but
PDFMergerUtility saves compressed metadata. This breaks a required PDF/A-1b
property. (happened at work today)
