[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1117) [Preflight] Continue the PDF validation after syntax error

["William Fausser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1117?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13102781#comment-13102781 ] 

William Fausser commented on PDFBOX-1117:
-----------------------------------------

I was thinking that in some cases where it is not a hard error caused by syntax, that it would be useful to see results of the validation tests.  I am asking because
sometimes there is a need to validate an non PDF/A pdf document.  It seems like all the work is already done and a front end could be developed to just check the
error returned in order to validate a non-pdf/a.  For example, if there is a need to validate pdfs containing JavaScript, then the  error code could be checked to deny
JavaScript or embedded JavaScript if the current PDF syntax would continue into the regular validation process.

> Currently, the PDF content isn't checked if the PDF Syntax is invalid.
> Study the possibility to continue the validation process if the grammar throws an exception. 
> It should be possible but I prefer to check that there aren't bad effects.
