Hello, everyone, I have another question. Running veraPDF (1.13.2) on the following file from the Isartor test suite (in 1-B mode) causes veraPDF to internally throw a Null Pointer Exception: Misc\isartor-6-7-2-t02-fail-b_report.pdf Here is the stack trace I see: WARNING: Exception caught when validaing item org.verapdf.core.ValidationException: Caught unexpected runtime exception during validation at org.verapdf.pdfa.validation.validators.BaseValidator.validate(BaseValidator.java:96) at org.verapdf.processor.ProcessorImpl.validate(ProcessorImpl.java:219) at org.verapdf.processor.ProcessorImpl.process(ProcessorImpl.java:120) at org.verapdf.processor.BatchFileProcessor.processItem(BatchFileProcessor.java:98) at org.verapdf.processor.BatchFileProcessor.processList(BatchFileProcessor.java:74) at org.verapdf.processor.AbstractBatchProcessor.process(AbstractBatchProcessor.java:102) at org.verapdf.gui.ValidateWorker.doInBackground(ValidateWorker.java:112) at org.verapdf.gui.ValidateWorker.doInBackground(ValidateWorker.java:47) at javax.swing.SwingWorker$1.call(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.SwingWorker.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.verapdf.pd.font.cff.CFFFontProgram.containsCode(CFFFontProgram.java:153) at org.verapdf.pd.font.PDCIDFont.glyphIsPresent(PDCIDFont.java:239) at org.verapdf.gf.model.impl.operator.textshow.GFGlyph.<init>(GFGlyph.java:94) at org.verapdf.gf.model.impl.operator.textshow.GFCIDGlyph.<init>(GFCIDGlyph.java:42) at org.verapdf.gf.model.impl.operator.textshow.GFGlyph.getGlyph(GFGlyph.java:122) at org.verapdf.gf.model.impl.operator.textshow.GFOpTextShow.getUsedGlyphs(GFOpTextShow.java:158) at org.verapdf.gf.model.impl.operator.textshow.GFOpTextShow.getLinkedObjects(GFOpTextShow.java:116) at org.verapdf.gf.model.impl.operator.textshow.GFOpStringTextShow.getLinkedObjects(GFOpStringTextShow.java:58) at org.verapdf.pdfa.validation.validators.BaseValidator.addAllLinkedObjects(BaseValidator.java:207) at org.verapdf.pdfa.validation.validators.BaseValidator.checkNext(BaseValidator.java:174) at org.verapdf.pdfa.validation.validators.BaseValidator.validate(BaseValidator.java:123) at org.verapdf.pdfa.validation.validators.BaseValidator.validate(BaseValidator.java:94) ... 13 more Kindly provide a solution.

[veraPDF-users] Possible veraPDF issues
by Rastko Djeric 22 May '18

22 May '18

Hello, everyone, We've noticed possible issues with veraPDF's treatment of the following files from the Isartor test suite (in 1B mode): E:\PDFTest\PDFA\PDFA-1b\Bavaria testsuite\conforming\Real world\braun_feudel.pdf E:\PDFTest\PDFA\PDFA-1b\Bavaria testsuite\nonconforming\PDFA\apogee.pdf For the first file, the '-32768' in obj 336 is treated as a Real, even though it lacks a decimal point. For the second file, obj 164 is treated as a Metadata object and therefore fails due to the presence of a 'Filter' key inside it, even though it lacks the required 'Type Metadata' entry inside it and is therefore technically not a Metadata object stream dictionary. Please provide us with explanations and/or fixes. Thanks, Rastko at PDFTron Systems Inc.
