[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4385) IOException "expected number,
actual=COSFloat{18446744073430152624}" when loading PDF
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4385?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16697832#comment-16697832 ]

Of course the PDF is invalid. 18446744073430152624 is not a valid page object number and it indicates the creator software of your client has a bug. Parsing on demand is a strategy which we don't support yet (although it would have its advantages), it means parse only what we need, and the part with the bad object number is in the structure tree which isn't needed unless you're blind (very simplified, there are other uses too). But the structure tree isn't used by PDFBox for what we usually do (rendering, text extraction, signing, etc) although a basic API exists.
