> PDFParser during PDF parsing does not update COSBase#direct property - it always return false when read. Especially this issue manifests for dictionary objects when PDF is saved - all PDF dictionary objects, if they do not have COSBase#direct property set or are not specifically treated by COSWriter (like XObject or Resources) are written indirectly. Though PDF specification allows dictionary objects to be indirect, but not for /Extensions dictionary in document catalog: "The extensions dictionary, all developer extensions dictionary entries in the extensions dictionary, as well as their entries, all shall be direct objects" (see ISO 32000-1: 7.12 Extensions Dictionary).
