> PDF's that are missing {{<<}} between two COS directory objects are failing with parsing. 
> E.g.
> {noformat}
> >>
> endobj
> 2 0 obj
> >>
> endobj
> 5 0 obj
> <<
> {noformat}
> The fix for handling these situations is adding under 20 lines of code to {{BaseParser.java}} (which I'd like to contribute).
