Timo Boehme commented on PDFBOX-5176:
-------------------------------------
I think as we are confronted with Fuzzer generated PDFs or hand crafted bad
PDFs we should strive for PDFBOX remaining stable (no memory overflow/infinite
loop/stack overflow) independent of the PDF content (at least in the long run).
Saying this processing or not processing a dictionary/value should not
influence the stability and thus the question of how to process the problematic
dictionary should merely be answered by how we best preserve the document
content - maybe by parsing as much as possible and only skipping clearly
corrupted parts(?)
> java.io.IOException: Page tree root must be a dictionary
