>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.8
>            Reporter: John Roche
>
> Line 94 contains a synchronized(file) that throws a NullPointerException under some strange circumstances that I haven't been able to fully identify yet.  I have downloaded the 1.8.8 source and the fix I used is simply to add "&& file != null" to the previous if statement.
> I can reproduce this bug with live user data, but I haven't been able to with test data yet.  It happens when I try to create a pdf with 36 pages that have an image, some drawn coloured boxes and some text, on each page.  If I remove some of the pages before I call save(File) it doesn't happen - depending on which pages I remove it can be ok with up to 26 pages, or break with fewer.  Quite strange.  I suspect it's to do with the size of the data as opposed to the number of pages.
> I will continue to investigate, since there seems to be some underlying issue, but for now I guess the null protection should be ok to add?
> Thanks,
> John
