The opening angle brackets of the follwoing subdictionary

Code:
<</Predictor 15
/Columns 8
/Colors 3>>


inside a content stream are falsely interpreted as the beginning of hexdecimal number. The result is that ScanHexadecimalString() of CLexer gets stuck in an infinite loop.

A possible solution to this problem might be to check at the beginning of ScanHexadecimalString() whether the NextChar is also '<'. If that's the case, ScanHexadecimalString() shouldn't continue.

That bug will be fixed with the next release (which is scheduled for summer 2008).

Is there a fix for this issue? I took it upon myself to basically reinvent the wheel as far as paring content streams, but I'd rather not rely on regular expressions to do all my heavy lifting. Thanks.

If this issue still occurs with PDFsharp 1.20 published June 24, 2008 then please provide us a PDF file that allows us to replicate the issue.

Hi!

Gladly. 140.pdf

I tested that file with PdfSharp.Explorer and with the TwoPagesOnOne sample - no endless loop.
I cannot replicate this problem with PDFsharp 1.20 published June 24, 2008.

When does this endless loop occur?

When using the ContentReader.ReadContent function, 100% of the time I end up stuck in the ScanHexadecimalString function with the current character always being "<" and the position never advances.

Here's some sample VB code to show you how I get stuck in the loop.

Code:
Sub Main()
    Dim doc As PdfDocument = PdfReader.Open("140.pdf")

    For Each page As PdfPage In doc.Pages
        Dim cseq As CSequence = ContentReader.ReadContent(page)
        Console.WriteLine("This message will not show.")
    Next

    doc.Close()
End Sub


I realize that this code doesn't really accomplish anything, but if you run it you will never get it to output to the console because its stuck in ScanHexadecimalString.

I hope that helps out some and thanks again.

- B

Hi Thomas, I was curious to know if you were able to reproduce the infinite loop I get based on the code I posted?

Yes, I was able to replicate the problem ...
... but because parsing PDF is not my area of expertise I had to forward it to a team member.

I'm back from holiday today. I'll check if the problem was solved.

Sorry to bring this topic back to life, but I just stumbled in what seems to be the same problem.

I get an infinite loop in ScanHexadecimalString() using the latest version of PDFSharp (v1.32.2608.0) in combination with ContentReader.ReadContent().

I can reproduce the issue with this file for example.

Code:
  var document = PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfReader.Open(inFileName);
  var page = document.Pages[0];
  CObject content = ContentReader.ReadContent(page); // <-- endless loop here


Is there a known fix for this, or maybe I'm doing something wrong?!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

PS: With the posted pdf, the lexer seems to get stucked while parsing '<' followed by '/' in an Artifact token (not sure this info would be of help, but can't hurt, right?!)

The latest version is PDFsharp 1.50 beta 3.
If the latest version 1.50 cannot read the file then the issue will be investigated.

Sorry, my bad (I'd previously installed it via nuget).

I've retested with 1.50 from github and it works, thanks!

You can get 1.50 also from NuGet (include Pre-Releases in filter).
