[jira] [Closed] (PDFBOX-469) q command not supported

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-469?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andreas Lehmkühler closed PDFBOX-469.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler

The q command support works well as Daniel already stated.

The culprit is a malformed pdf. According to the pdf specs nothing should appear between "endobj" and an objekt number like "3 0 obj". As we don't have a sample pdf to check if the current version is more lenient than 0.8.0-incubating I closed the issue.

> They fail due to the "q" line.  I think this is a directive to save the current graphics state, as described in 4.3.1 of the PDF Reference, V 1.7

> around line 434 in the parseObject() method of PDFParser seems to fix it.
