Description

I got an I/O Exception when I try to open some PDF using the lib (calling PDDocument.load(pdfFile)). Here are some urls with affected PDF (I think it's the same problem for all of them) :

• https://www.buerger.uni-frankfurt.de/80977779/Rehbein_Schule_Hanau_9_2018.pdf
• http://www.geislerfarms.com/documents/filelibrary/Geisler_COVID_statement_0A7A094E1EFB7.pdf
• http://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/c736e1d5-932e-4f8a-8e56-52ab10a214fd/SALHN+Governing+Board+Minutes+-+5+March+2020.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CACHEID=ROOTWORKSPACE-c736e1d5-932e-4f8a-8e56-52ab10a214fd-niR9I3J

I think the files are not well formatted and doesn't respect PDF specs but I can open them using other pdf viewer (like chrome pdf viewer for example)

 

Here is the stack trace :
