             Summary: PDDocument.save double-closes stream causing exceptions with well-behaving streams
                 Key: PDFBOX-4241
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4241
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.9, 2.0.4
            Reporter: Harald Kuhr


This might be a duplicate of PDFBOX-273, although closed, it is clearly not fixed.

PDDocument save (through COSWriter) closes the output, and to make things worse, it closes it _twice_. Also, it is generally not good practice to close streams, unless you opened them yourself, so I think the streams should just be left alone, and instead the references should be cleared.

The critical code in {{PDDocument.save(OutputStream output)}} is:
{code:java}
COSWriter writer = new COSWriter(output);
try
{
    writer.write(this);
}
finally
{
    writer.close();
}{code}
With {{COSWriter.close()}} being:
{code:java}
public void close() throws IOException
{
    if (getStandardOutput() != null)
    {
      getStandardOutput().close();
    }
    if (getOutput() != null)
    {
        getOutput().close();
    }
    if (incrementalOutput != null)
    {
        incrementalOutput.close();
    }
}
{code}
The problem here is that {{standardOutput}} in this case _wraps_  {{output}}, thus causing a double {{close()}} on {{output}} (as {{FilterOutputStream}} already closes the stream it wraps).

Double closing itself might not have been a problem, but again {{FilterOutputStream.close()}} invokes {{flush()}} in its standard implementation,  and you cannot flush a closed stream...

Example stack trace:
{noformat}

at com.twelvemonkeys.imageio.plugins.pdf.PDFImageWriter.main(PDFImageWriter.java:183){noformat}
I tagged the issue with 2.0.4 and 2.0.9 as those are the versions I tested, but I assume the problem is there even before 2.0.4.
