Oliver Mannion commented on PDFBOX-4521:
----------------------------------------

Thank you [~tilman] for a super fast fix! šŸ™

I've verified org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox:2.0.16-20190420.123304-37 from 
[https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/] can parse 
[^Editathon_cheat_sheet_(EN)_MetaDefender.pdf] We'll have to upgrade to that 
version from pdfbox 2.0.6 (which we are still using because ofĀ 
org.apache.tika:tika-parsers:1.16) or backport the fix if we can'tĀ upgrade.

I'll raise this with our vendor. I only had a quick look at the PDF spec, does 
it consider a missing Info value from file trailer to be an incorrect PDF? I'm 
still able to open it in a PDF viewer.

> Missing Info value from file trailer: org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSName cannot be 
> cast to org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSDictionary

> Ā the {{Info}} key is optional. PDFBox correctly handles the case when there 
> is no {{Info}} key and no value is present, but in this case, the key is 
> present but without a value.
