PDF Parse Failure only on an IBM JDK?

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:06:38 -0700 

Hi All,
I am facing a very strange problem with PDFBox 0.8.0 (revision 779577) On a Sun JDK the PDF parses without error, but on an IBM JDK I get the following error: 


Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Error: Expected an 
integer type, actual='ãÃÃ'
        at 
org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.BaseParser.readInt(BaseParser.java:1220)
        at 
org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parseObject(PDFParser.java:490)

        at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parse(PDFParser.java:172)
        at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.load(PDDocument.java:736)
        at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.load(PDDocument.java:704)
        at org.apache.pdfbox.PDFReader.parseDocument(PDFReader.java:322)
        at org.apache.pdfbox.PDFReader.openPDFFile(PDFReader.java:285)
        at org.apache.pdfbox.PDFReader.main(PDFReader.java:270)

The error can be reproduced using the PDFReader class.


Unfortunately I cannot attach the PDF as-is since its confidential but 
if anyone knows a tool I can use to obfuscate the PDF please let me know!


My question is how can I debug this error?

Thanks,

Chris
