PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hi Team,

We are using PdfSharp 1.3 version, while processing the PDF file we are getting error "Non-negative number required".
So to check the issue we have downloaded the latest version 1.5 beta 3 and checking in debug mode.

I am getting this issue while reading the below code when it tries to read the indirect objects from the PDF file.
File Name: PdfReader.cs

PdfReference[] irefs = document._irefTable.AllReferences

PdfReference iref = irefs[idx];
if (iref.Value == null)

Getting the below error message:

Exception message: Non-negative number required.
Parameter name: value

Observation while debugging the source code, I found in the below section of

// 3rd: Create iRefs for all compressed objects.
PdfCrossReferenceStream.CrossReferenceStreamEntry item = xrefStream.Entries[idx2];

// Is type xref to compressed object?
if (item.Type == 2)
{
// Here it is adding the null value in the dictionary object named "objectStreams"
}

Please find below stack trace details:
