Description

I got a pdf,,, in which pdfbox gives errors while parsing it.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: root cannot be null
        at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageTree.<init>(PDPageTree.java:75)
        at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocumentCatalog.getPages(PDDocumentCatalog.java:129)
        at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.getNumberOfPages(PDDocument.java:1411)

This did not happen with 2.0.7.
