Hi,

i have a PDF file that throws the following exception:

{{java.io.IOException: Page tree root must be a dictionaryjava.io.IOException: Page tree root must be a dictionary at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.initialParse(PDFParser.java:198) ~[pdfbox-2.0.19.jar:2.0.19] at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parse(PDFParser.java:226) ~[pdfbox-2.0.19.jar:2.0.19] at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.load(PDDocument.java:1222) ~[pdfbox-2.0.19.jar:2.0.19] at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.load(PDDocument.java:1122) ~[pdfbox-2.0.19.jar:2.0.19]}}

This happens when loading the document from an InputStream.

The document can be opened properly using Preview on Mac.

 

I have checked the PDF structure (even though i don't know it very well), from what i can see it could be because the /Pages is not the first element under the /Root.
