Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-455: ------------------------------------------- Thanks for the patch Sean, but first of all we have to have a look at the parser why a COSString is generated instead of a COSName. If there is a parser issue, your patch will fix the symptoms only and not the issue itself. Only for the record, please submit your patches as an attachment to an issue, so that you are able to allow us to include your patch(es) by activating the "Grant license.." checkbox. Thanks in advance > java.lang.ClassCastException: org.pdfbox.cos.COSString cannot be cast to > org.pdfbox.cos.COSName >
