PDDocument.load() -- boolean force argument is missing in 2.0.0 (also missing from

[Steve Churchill <sc...@shutterfly.com>]

Hi PDFBox-ers,

I’m maintaining a PDFBox app and I noticed that the boolean force argument has been removed:

1.0
 public static org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument load(java.io.InputStream, boolean) throws java.io.IOException
2.0
  public static org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument load(java.io.File, java.lang.String, boolean) throws java.io.IOException;

Where
force - When true, the parser will skip corrupt pdf objects and will continue parsing at the next object in the file

I notice that the argument is missing from PDFParser too (eventually invoked by load()). Does anyone know what is the behavior now? Is it equivalent to force==true or force==false?
Thanks,

~ Steve

The answer is roughly, “neither”. Force was only ever used for parsing problematic strings but we now parse these in a different manner. We’re able to skip over the bad content and keep going.
