Alfred commented on PDFBOX-4895:
--------------------------------
I am not sure of this but there may be something wrong in parsing it as float.
"18446744073307448448" does not turn into a float with the value of
18446744073307448448F
It would be impossible, since a float has 32 bits, just like a long.
The reason we can parse "18446744073307448448" as Float is because it gets
rounded to 18446744000000000000f
Also, that number, 18446744073307448448, is Long.MAX_VALUE * 2, for a reason I
did not understand yet.
There may be a bug in the creator app somewhere.
We know the original number is not a float, we know it's just a very large
integer.
I understand Float.MAX_VALUE is wrong. Does it make sense to make it /-
Long.MAX_VALUE ?

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.20, 3.0.0 PDFBox
> Reporter: Alfred
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: Optimization
> Fix For: 2.0.21, 3.0.0 PDFBox
>
> Attachments: PDFBOX-4895-b.patch, PDFBOX-4895.patch
>
>
> A small improvement can be made to COSNumber when checking if it's float.
> Current version uses indexOf twice, to check for '.' or 'e'.
> We can do that in one scan.
>
> Each call will scan through the entire string.
> We only have to scan until we find the chars, and stop if found.
>
> I found while profiling the code that the method gets called a lot, so the
> improvement makes a a bit of a difference.
