JVM crashes and PDFBox 0.8.1
Hi,
I'm looking at some JVM crash issues that have been reported against
our digital asset management product that uses PDFBox to extract text,
metadata and thumbnail images from PDF documents. In all cases the
problem seems to be some underlying JVM or class library issue that
PDFBox triggers by calling standard Java APIs.
Having the entire JVM crash for such operations is clearly not
acceptable. Since we can't fix the underlying problems and don't want
to disable all PDF processing, I'm trying to come up with ways in
which PDFBox could work around these issues. See the issue tracker for
all the details.
Once I'm done with these issues, it would be nice to have a new PDFBox
0.8.1 release containing the workarounds and any other new fixes that
we come up with in trunk.
BR,
Jukka Zitting

And https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-488
I also have a few other crash reports in our internal bug tracker at
Day Software. I'll be submitting them as new PDFBox issues as soon as
I've reviewed the problems in more detail.

I added version 0.8.1 to the issue tracker.
