---------------------------------------
Summary: Protect PDDocumentCatalog constructors
Key: PDFBOX-4099
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4099
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: PDModel
Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
Fix For: 3.0.0 PDFBox
A guy on the user mailing list used this code:
{code:java}
PDDocumentCatalog pg = new PDDocumentCatalog(mergedPDF) ;
PageMode pm = PageMode.USE_OUTLINES;
pg.setPageMode(pm);
{code}
This destroyed his PDF. The only usages of the constructors are internal to
PDFBox, when a document is newly created or opened. My first thought was to
make the constructor package local to avoid people using this, but it would
prevent subclassing (although I can't imagine why anybody would do that), so
I'll make it protected instead.
