Description

In method doWriteTrailer an unsafe setter is called on getItem(COSName.ID).setDirect(true).

 

It was not done in PDFBox 2.0.14. This causes NPEs. 

My quick and easy fix to restore PDFBox 2.0.14 behavior : 

 

COSArray id = ((COSArray) trailer.getItem(COSName.ID));
if (id != null) 
{
    id.setDirect(true);
}

Best regards,
