Description

Found another case like the reported in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3500 or https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3369

In this case the pattern is with "double negative":

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Error expected floating point number actual='-7-8'        at org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSFloat.<init>(COSFloat.java:78)

I modified a PDF to match the error we are getting in some cases (real data are productive/private data cannot attach)
