Timo Boehme commented on PDFBOX-1541:
-------------------------------------
I'm still in favor of some kind of 'recovery mode' which could get activated if
such an error occurs. In this mode the document would first be parsed
sequentially for object starts, endobj, endstream etc. so that we get
information of possible end offsets for objects (e.g. choose the last one
before next object starts). Furthermore this would allow to correct broken
object tables. Such a big picture might be a better starting point for
corrections instead of having only local information for guessing what will be
the correct index.
I know I've announced to be willing to work on such a tool some time ago -
unfortunately there was so far no time and not enough pressure by the document
collections we have to work with. It is still on my to-do list but I cannot
provide you with an estimation when it will be done.
