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 (either regularly or incrementally) -
all dictionary objects in saved PDF, 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).
