[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-2845) Error parsing PDF
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2845?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14641579#comment-14641579 ]

PDFBox is to strict. The spec says
{quote}
The following objects shall not be stored in an object stream:
- .....
- An object representing the value of the Length entry in an object stream dictionary
{quote}
In the given case the length is an indirect object (554 0) but not the length of an object stream. It's the length of some simple stream (515 0) and the length PDFBox is looking for is in one of the object streams (592 0) which isn't yet parsed. I've removed the check and ran into another problem. There is an infinity loop check which throws an exception.
