pdAnnotation.getDictionary().toString() => StackOverflowError
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1525?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13588884#comment-13588884 ]
Thomas Chojecki commented on PDFBOX-1525:
-----------------------------------------
Calling toString on COSDictionaries can result in such an exception. This is caused by larger dictionaries that contains references to other larger dictionaries and if it went wrong there can be a cycle to already traveled dictionaries.
It is an bad idea to use toString() in this lib. If you now which items you need from a dictionary, you can use getItem(...) to get a value.
So this isn't actually a bug.
