Tim Allison commented on TIKA-4898:
-----------------------------------
:robot: suggests that this information is tracked and then nulled out in PDFBox?
{noformat}
It looks like COSParser already has it: it walks the /Prev chain and records
every section in XrefTrailerResolver, and getTrailerCount() is public — but the
resolver is reset and nulled when parsing finishes, so nothing reaches
COSDocument. Linearization would still need special-casing (the first-page
xref's /Prev points at the main one), and a chain-based count would miss
appended bytes that no xref references, which for our forensics use case is the
interesting case. So probably both, not one instead of the other.
