John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-3403:
-------------------------------------

{quote}I would prefer it if missing information only cause a disruption like an 
exception in circumstances in which the information are required.{quote}

For the most part, that's what we do. Most errors are silently repaired by 
PDFBox, or the problem content is simply skipped. There are some cases where we 
can't proceed and will throw an IOException, though these are rare. In this 
particular case it's a moot point, the exception is an unchecked exception 
being thrown because of a bug in PDFBox - that particular exception is just a 
sanity check to make sure that we've called our own API correctly.
