Hello,
It' seems that pdf's generated by MS Word 2010 or 2013 are a recipe for trouble
in combination with PDFBOX version 1.8.0 or 1.8.4.
I upgrade to PDFBOX 1.8.4 and one issue remains:
Caused by: **thirdparty.pdf.exceptions.PDFParsingException:
[offset=91308]Expected numeric object for object number

How to reproduce:
1) Fire up MS Word v 2010 , type some text, save as PDF.
2) Open this pdf file with Notepad++, you will notice the following at the
bottom of the file:

Our application is trying to add an image to this pdf using PDFBox, when
calling PDFDocument.save() the "revisions" are merged an a new pdf is being
created.
The newly created pdf is being passed to a third party that tries to open it,
but it fails because XRefStm is not correctly updated during save.
Probably related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1822
I also tried PDFDocument.incrementalSave() but then I get into a nullpointer
exception cuased by PDFXRefStream: List<Integer> indexEntry =
getIndexEntry(); containing two null objects. (first and last still being null
and being added to the list).
How do I solve this issue?
What's the real issue here?
I'm not in control of the pdf's that the application can receive.
Also ran into the following bug but worked around it
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1838 .
