Hello PoDoFo developers, I think that I’ve fixed a bug in PdfXRefStreamParserObject which occurred if the first array entry in the „W“-Array has a zero value:
Current SVN version r1665 treated this case as „type 0“ (free object), however
according to the PDF-Spec this case should have a default value „type 1“.
Please see the spec "PDF 32000-1:2008“, Section "7.5.8.2 Cross-Reference Stream
Dictionary“, "Table 17 – Additional entries specific to a cross-reference
stream dictionary“. The description to the key „W“ states:
> A value of zero for an element in the W array indicates that the
> corresponding field shall not be present in the stream, and the default value
> shall be used, if there is one. If the first element is zero, the type field
> shall not be present, and shall default to type 1.

I have managed to fix this issue with the following patch to
PdfXRefStreamParserObject.cpp, the if-statement added just before the
switch-statement fixed this bug:

Without this patch, I could not create a PdfMemDocument for a certain PDF
sample file which contains an XRef with a W-key of the form [0 3 0]. The
symptom looked like this
> PoDoFo encounter an error. Error: 15 ePdfError_NoObject
> Error Description: A object was expected but not found.
> Callstack:
> #0 Error Source:
> /Users/amin/csci/svn-src/extern/podofo/podofo-svn/podofo-src/src/doc/PdfMemDocument.cpp:182
> Information: Catalog object not found!
The error occurred in the function PdfMemDocument::InitFromParser( PdfParser*
pParser ) at the call
PdfObject* pCatalog = pTrailer->GetIndirectKey( "Root" );
which yielded the error as the indirect object in „Root“ could not be
dereferenced (because this->GetObjects().GetSize() yielded zero caused by all
PdfObjects being parsed of type „free“).
After the mentioned patch the problematic PDF file could be parsed without
problems...
Could you please check this patch and add it to the SVN version? Thank you very
much!
Best regards,
Amin
