---------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree with Tilmans theory. The indirect object isn't a known object and can't
be dereferenced which ends up in a null-value if one tries to get the object
from the COSObject instance. Unlike Tilman I like his proposal to handle the
null similar to COSNull ;-) But instead of extending the last {{if}} checking
for COSNull I'd rather add that special case to the beginning of that method
when COSObject are processed. Simply write COSNull if the base value of
toplevel COSObjects is null due to a broken reference and add some
debug-logging. This would handle orphaned indirect objects in a lenient way but
doesn't swallow other possible issues.
WDYT?

> Hello,
> I'm reaching out to you because we encountered some errors when loading

> I cloned the project in local env and tried with v3.0.3-SNAPSHOT but the same
> error appeared.
> When trying to save my document using the PDDocument save() method, the
> following exception occurs:

> I can't share the document used for testing because it contains sensitive
> information, but after debugging a bit I found that it contains OutlineItems

> Let me know if you need more details regarding this problem.

> Also, if you are able to create a test document that would reproduce the
> issue, would you please mind sharing it? It would be of great help.
> Or if you have way to anonymize a document without altering its structure.

> Many thanks in advance!
