> I've noticed the following null pointer exception can happen on scanned documents when we're checking if it has a layer of a given name:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.NullPointerExceptionjava.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.graphics.optionalcontent.PDOptionalContentProperties.getGroupNames(PDOptionalContentProperties.java:227) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.graphics.optionalcontent.PDOptionalContentProperties.hasGroup(PDOptionalContentProperties.java:245)
> {code}
> Looking into this, it happens because for these particular documents the following line returns null - [https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/da378798e5f2c8a1394725518db478f7ffaf5177/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/graphics/optionalcontent/PDOptionalContentProperties.java#L227]
> and subsequently gets dereferenced
> It may be that these files are just generated in an invalid way (unfortunately I cannot provide them as it contains customer information). Anyway, looking at the code other methods getGroup(name) call a private method getOCGs that safeguards against the null case by defaulting it then, see here - [https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/da378798e5f2c8a1394725518db478f7ffaf5177/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/graphics/optionalcontent/PDOptionalContentProperties.java#L118]
> So maybe getGroupNames() (which hasGroup uses) can just use that as a safeguard? Anyway, the workaround was to replace our hasGroup(name) check with getGroup(name) != null
