All Implemented Interfaces:
ICOSParser
Direct Known Subclasses:

public class COSParser extends BaseParser implements ICOSParser
COS-Parser which first reads startxref and xref tables in order to know valid objects and parse only these objects. This class is a much enhanced version of QuickParser presented in PDFBOX-1104 by Jeremy Villalobos.

  • Method Details

    • setEOFLookupRange

      public void setEOFLookupRange(int byteCount)
      Sets how many trailing bytes of PDF file are searched for EOF marker and 'startxref' marker. If not set we use default value DEFAULT_TRAIL_BYTECOUNT.

      We check that new value is at least 16. However for practical use cases this value should not be lower than 1000; even 2000 was found to not be enough in some cases where some trailing garbage like HTML snippets followed the EOF marker.

      In case system property SYSPROP_EOFLOOKUPRANGE is defined this value will be set on initialization but can be overwritten later.

      Parameters:
      byteCount - number of trailing bytes

    • retrieveTrailer

      protected COSDictionary retrieveTrailer() throws IOException
      Read the trailer information and provide a COSDictionary containing the trailer information.
      Returns:
      a COSDictionary containing the trailer information
      Throws:
      IOException - if something went wrong

    • resetTrailerResolver

      protected boolean resetTrailerResolver()
      Indicates whether the xref trailer resolver should be reset or not. Should be overwritten if the xref trailer resolver is needed after the initial parsing.
      Returns:
      true if the xref trailer resolver should be reset

    • lastIndexOf

      protected int lastIndexOf(char[] pattern, byte[] buf, int endOff)
      Searches last appearance of pattern within buffer. Lookup before _lastOff and goes back until 0.
      Parameters:
      pattern - pattern to search for
      buf - buffer to search pattern in
      endOff - offset (exclusive) where lookup starts at
      Returns:
      start offset of pattern within buffer or -1 if pattern could not be found

    • isLenient

      public boolean isLenient()
      Return true if parser is lenient. Meaning auto healing capacity of the parser are used.
      Returns:
      true if parser is lenient

    • setLenient

      protected void setLenient(boolean lenient)
      Change the parser leniency flag. This method can only be called before the parsing of the file.
      Parameters:
      lenient - try to handle malformed PDFs.

    • dereferenceCOSObject

      Parameters:
      obj - the COSObject which references the COSBase object to be dereferenced.
      Returns:
      the referenced object
      Throws:
      IOException - if something went wrong when dereferencing the COSBase object

    • createRandomAccessReadView

      public org.apache.pdfbox.io.RandomAccessReadView createRandomAccessReadView(long startPosition, long streamLength) throws IOException
      Description copied from interface: ICOSParser
      Creates a random access read view starting at the given position with the given length.
      Specified by:
      createRandomAccessReadView in interface ICOSParser
      Parameters:
      startPosition - start position within the underlying random access read
      streamLength - stream length
      Returns:
      the random access read view
      Throws:

    • parseObjectDynamically

      protected COSBase parseObjectDynamically(COSObjectKey objKey, boolean requireExistingNotCompressedObj) throws IOException
      Parse the object for the given object key.
      Parameters:
      objKey - key of object to be parsed
      requireExistingNotCompressedObj - if true the object to be parsed must be defined in xref (comment: null objects may be missing from xref) and it must not be a compressed object within object stream (this is used to circumvent being stuck in a loop in a malicious PDF)
      Returns:
      the parsed object (which is also added to document object)
      Throws:
      IOException - If an IO error occurs.

    • parseObjectStreamObject

      protected COSBase parseObjectStreamObject(long objstmObjNr, COSObjectKey key) throws IOException
      Parse the object with the given key from the object stream with the given number.

      objstmObjNr - the number of the offset stream
      key - the key of the object to be parsed
      Returns:
      the parsed object
      Throws:
      IOException - if something went wrong when parsing the object

    • parseCOSStream

      protected COSStream parseCOSStream(COSDictionary dic) throws IOException
      This will read a COSStream from the input stream using length attribute within dictionary. If length attribute is a indirect reference it is first resolved to get the stream length. This means we copy stream data without testing for 'endstream' or 'endobj' and thus it is no problem if these keywords occur within stream. We require 'endstream' to be found after stream data is read.
      Parameters:
      dic - dictionary that goes with this stream.
      Returns:
      parsed pdf stream.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error occurred reading the stream, like problems with reading length attribute, stream does not end with 'endstream' after data read, stream too short etc.

    • checkPages

      protected void checkPages(COSDictionary root) throws IOException
      Check if all entries of the pages dictionary are present. Those which can't be dereferenced are removed.
      Parameters:
      root - the root dictionary of the pdf
      Throws:
      IOException - if the page tree root is null

    • isString

      protected boolean isString(char[] string) throws IOException
      Checks if the given string can be found at the current offset.
      Parameters:
      string - the bytes of the string to look for
      Returns:
      true if the bytes are in place, false if not
      Throws:
      IOException - if something went wrong

      false on parsing error
      Throws:
      IOException - If an IO error occurs.
