Unknown xobject subtype 'PS'

Hi All,

When I am trying to watermark a pdf with pdfbox1.4.0, I am getting the
following exception. Is there a way to handle this exception and still
continue with watermarking?

java.io.IOException: Unknown xobject subtype 'PS'

      at test.TestWaterMark.TestWaterMarking(TestWaterMark.java:75)
      at test.TestWaterMark.main(TestWaterMark.java:166)

Thanks in advance,
Ramesh

I changed the behaviour of PDFBox in the current trunk version. Instead of 
throwing an exception a log entry will be written. See [1] for further details.
