Petras updated PDFBOX-1314:
---------------------------
Description: PDFParser during PDF parsing does not update COSBase#direct
property - it always return false when read. Especially this issue manifests
for dictionary objects when PDF is saved - all PDF dictionary objects, if they
do not have COSBase#direct property set or are not specifically treated by
COSWriter (like XObject or Resources) are written indirectly. Though PDF
specification allows dictionary objects to be indirect, but not for /Extensions
dictionary in document catalog: "The extensions dictionary, all developer
extensions dictionary entries in the extensions dictionary, as well as their
entries, all shall be direct objects (i.e., this information shall be nested
directly within the catalog dictionary with no indirect objects used)." (see
ISO 32000-1: 7.12 Extensions Dictionary). (was: PDFParser during PDF parsing
does not update COSBase#direct property - it always return false when read.
