Panic during outline tree validation

[liron-l]

The following code panics:

if count == nil || *count == 0 {
			if xRefTable.ValidationMode == model.ValidationStrict {
				return errors.New("pdfcpu: validateOutlineTree: non-empty outline item dict needs \"Count\" <> 0")
			}
			*count = c
		}

count is nil hence *c will panic.

Thanks for discovering this!

Hi, can you share a file where this actually happens? ..because it shouldn't.
Would be very helpful for debugging and fixing this.
Thank you!

Hi hhrutter, I also experienced this issue. I cant share the file because it has some confidential information. I made a fork with a simple change to add:

if count == nil {
   count = new(int)
}

Curious if you think this change will suffice here.

We need an actual PDF in order to get to the root of this.

This should be fixed with latest commit!
