Description

I have a pdf doc with an invalid xref of the form

xref

55 117

0000000016 00000 n

0000048365 00000 n

0000072064 00000 00 n

0000110322 00000 n

The problematic line is,

0000072064 00000 00 n

Which fails to parse with an exception of,

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Corrupt XRefTable Entry - ObjID:79
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parseXrefTable(PDFParser.java:645)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parseObject(PDFParser.java:414)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parse(PDFParser.java:169)

The pdf is invalid, but it would be nice to parse it.
