[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1694) Bug in org.apache.pdfbox.io.Ascii85InputStream

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1694?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13740781#comment-13740781 ] 

Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-1694:
--------------------------------------------

I understand your point and totally agree that the current implementation isn't correct. But I can't find any pdf having an issue with it. Even your sample pdf doesn't throw any exception or anything similar. Can you confirm that?

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1694
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.7.1
>         Environment: Any
>            Reporter: Peter Costello
>              Labels: Ascii85Decode
>   Original Estimate: 0.5h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0.5h

> Method 'org.apache.pdfbox.io.Ascii85InputStream.read()' has bug when reading final set of char that are not modulo-4.
> Test file="www.mzweb.com.br/grupobimbo/web/arquivos/Bimbo_Historia_20070409_Esp.pdf". 
> On page#0 there is a dictionary "323 0 obj << /Length 1492 /Filter [/Ascii85Decode /FlateDecode]>>"
> Last set of bytes to decode is "%f" or  0x25, 0x66
> Ascii85InputStream pads this to "%f~!!" and correctly generates the final byte 0x0f.
> Including the '~' end-of-data char in the padding is a major bug.
> If the final padding were "%f!!!", the final byte decoded would be 0x0e (which is wrong).
> The correct padding is the 'u' char, or "%fuuu" (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii85)
> This is a quick fix. 
> The PDF files for corporate website "Grupo Bimbo" include lots of examples using Ascii85Decode/
