             Summary: ClassCastException in 
PDDocumentCatalog.getDocumentOutline if 'outlines' is not a dictionary
                 Key: PDFBOX-4307
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4307
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Parsing
    Affects Versions: 2.0.11, 3.0.0 PDFBox
            Reporter: Timo Boehme


In PDDocumentOutline.getDocumentOutline() the 'outline' is read as dictionary 
object and directly cast to COSDictionary. Normally this is ok as it should be 
a dictionary. However in a bad PDF as I have it in my collection (unfortunately 
I'm not allowed to disclose it) the object is an array (COSArray) which leads 
to the ClassCastException.

Since the outline is an optional information the best we can do here is to 
ignore the 'outline' data if its not a COSDIctionary and return 'null'.
