Timo Boehme resolved PDFBOX-773.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Assignee: Timo Boehme
Provided PDF document is broken.
Typically this kind of problem stems from sequentially parsing of PDFParser and
can be resolved using NonSequentialPDFParser (option -nonSeq in some tools).
However the provided document is broken (at least in the xref parts - multiple
times an xref line is splitted by an extra \n (NonSequentialPDFParser will
point you to the problematic offset).
Other readers will silently try to reconstruct the object references, which
might result in content errors. PDFBOX does not have a special object structure
reconstruction mode (only the standard PDFParser). Such a xref repair tool
would be helpful to parse even broken documents with NonSequentialPDFParser.
This however would be a feature request. At least the provided document would
be a good test case for such a tool.
