Description

During processing of attached PDF file (081204_gcada.pdf) I've found out that method PDAnnotation.getRectangle() is not able to get elements from Rect of annotation if these elements are indirect cos objects ([10 0 R 11 0 R 12 0 R 13 0 R]) -> returns null.
It works only if elements are direct cos objects.

Affected annotation is present on page with reference number 266 0 R (page 25).

Also I've attached a patch which solves this problems.
