Tilman Hausherr created PDFBOX-2611:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Incorrect error message "Hexa String must have only
Hexadecimal Characters" in preflight
Key: PDFBOX-2611
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2611
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Preflight
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.0.0
I get with the files pdfa_article_v11.pdf and PDFExportDialog2.pdf of the
"unclear" part of the Bavaria test suite. The cause is text like this in a PDF:
{code}

{code}
In a comment to PDFExportDialog2.pdf, pdflib tells "Unclear: hexadecimal string
with whitespace characters (ambiguous in ISO 19005-1)" and "PDFlib opinion:
whitespace in hex strings should be ignored". The PDF-Tools validator says it
is a valid PDF. Solid Documents is unable to process the file.
[~msahyoun] do you know if this has been clarified in PDF/A-2b or PDF/A-3b? It
is valid in "ordinary" PDF files.
