             Summary: Localization in XRef generation results in unusable PDFs
                 Key: PDFBOX-3481
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3481
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Writing
    Affects Versions: 2.0.2
            Reporter: Edward Kupershlak


PDFBox appears to be using a localized number formatter when encoding the XRef table. Depending on locale settings, this can result in non-ascii characters being used, which prevents PDFBox from loading the PDF.

The following code demonstrates this:

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);
    }
  }
}
