Critical Description
I have a PDF file that I am attempting to render with:
PDFRenderer renderer = new PDFRenderer(document); for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++ ) { // the document is two pages, code simplified BufferedImage image = renderer.renderImageWithDPI(i, dpi, ImageType.RGB); }
However, the code never returns. When I pause execution (in Eclipse) I see that execution never leaves the decode() method of org.apache.pdfbox.filter.RunLengthDecodeFilter.
The problem is that the inner loop of while (amountToCopy > 0) in bold below is never executed because the stream has come to EOF! That means that the int compressedRead get a negative value and amountToCopy is _*added *_to instead of being subtracted from.
The loop seems to eventually step out of itself, Probably when the integer warps around when reaching it's max 
The problem is easy to catch if setting a conditional breakpoint on compressedRead == -1.
I'll include the PDF. The problem arises on page 2.
public DecodeResult decode(InputStream encoded, OutputStream decoded,
COSDictionary parameters, int index) throws IOException
{
int dupAmount;
byte[] buffer = new byte[128];
while ((dupAmount = encoded.read()) != -1 && dupAmount != RUN_LENGTH_EOD)
{
if (dupAmount <= 127)
{
int amountToCopy = dupAmount + 1;
int compressedRead;
* while(amountToCopy > 0)
{
compressedRead = encoded.read(buffer, 0, amountToCopy);
decoded.write(buffer, 0, compressedRead);
amountToCopy -= compressedRead;
}*
}
else
{
int dupByte = encoded.read();
for (int i = 0; i < 257 - dupAmount; i++)
{
decoded.write(dupByte);
}
}
}
return new DecodeResult(parameters);
}
