Michael Klink commented on PDFBOX-5717:
---------------------------------------
PDFBox has a problem with object 3 - in the catalog it is referred to as name
tree base for JavaScript:
{code}
4
0
obj
<<
/Type
/Catalog
/Names
<<
/JavaScript
3
0
R
>>
...
{code}
But there is no object 3 in the file:
{code}
xref
0 246
0000000002 65535 f
0002000782 00000 n
0000000003 00000 f
0000000000 00000 f
...
{code}
According to the spec, PDFBox should treat this as a {{null}} object:
{quote}
An indirect reference to an undefined object shall not be considered an error
by a PDF processor; it shall be treated as a reference to the null object.
{quote}
Unfortunately it doesn't:
{code}
