> PDFBox appears to be using a localized number formatter when encoding the XRef table. Depending on locale settings, this can result in unicode characters being used, which prevents PDFBox from loading the PDF.
> The following code demonstrates this:
> {code}
> import java.io.File;
> import java.io.FileInputStream;
> import java.io.FileOutputStream;
> import java.util.Locale;
> import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
> import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage;
> import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.common.PDRectangle;
> class Example {
>   public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
>     File tempFile = File.createTempFile("example", ".pdf");
>     Locale arabicLocale = new Locale.Builder().setLanguageTag("ar-EG-u-nu-arab").build();
>     Locale.setDefault(arabicLocale);
>     try (FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tempFile)) {
>       PDDocument doc = new PDDocument();
>       doc.addPage(new PDPage(PDRectangle.LETTER));
>       doc.save(out);
>       doc.close();
>     }
>     try (FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(tempFile)) {
>       PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(in);
>       // This will throw.
>       doc.getPage(0);
>     }
>   }
> }
> {code}
