[DL6ER]

See #1269 for further details.

Environment

Which environment were you using when you encountered the problem?

$ python -m platform
Linux-5.4.0-122-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.29

$ python -c "import PyPDF2;print(PyPDF2.__version__)"
2.10.3

Code + PDF

This is a minimal, complete example that shows the issue:

from PyPDF2 import PdfReader

with open("Work Flow From Check to QA.pdf", "rb") as f:
  reader = PdfReader(f, strict=False)
  content = " ".join([page.extract_text() for page in reader.pages])

PDF used above: Work Flow From Check to QA.pdf

Traceback

This is the complete Traceback I see:

The page contains an array of content stream. They have to be reassembled adding line breaks. PR #1281 will fix this issue

Thank you for reporting the issue @DL6ER ! I'll release a PyPDF2 version with the fix on Sunday to PyPI.

[MartinThoma]

We value good error reports @DL6ER! I can add you to https://pypdf2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/meta/CONTRIBUTORS.html if you want :-)

[DL6ER]

@MartinThoma Sure, you can add me if your want. I will "contribute" some more issues over the next days ;-)

[MartinThoma]

You're added :-) (It might take ~5 minutes until the docs refresh)
