Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-1946:
-----------------------------------------

I committed your change in rev 1576202 for the trunk. I will look tonight if I can make the same changes to the 1.8 branch. About that PDColorState class, what was the actual code that produced the exception? It might be in another class now.

> I've identified 6 modules that should be modified to avoid AccessControlException's while running within an Applet.  My solution would be to catch each AccessControlException and then use a default or continue on.  For most of these, that is probably the best solution, for a few especially PDFStreamEngine someone may have a better idea.
> The modules that have issues:
> pdfbox\pdfparser\BaseParser -- line 131 call to Boolean.getBoolean, line 170 call to Integer.getInteger
> pdfbox\util\PDFTextStripper -- line 79 call to System.getProperty()
> pdfbox\util\ResourceLoader -- line 67 call to getSystemClassLoader()
> pdfbox\pdmodel\graphics\color\PDColorState -- line 50, call to Color.getColor
> pdfbox/encoding/Encoding -- line 78, call to System.getProperty
> pdfbox\util\PDFStreamEngine -- Line 351 & 364 check for font == null (will be null if had resource loading problems)
> Not sure what the best way is to proceed.  Please advise.
> Thanks
