You can track back through the XREF chain to make sure the %%EOF you found is correct.

All,

   Is there an easy-ish/programmatic way to extract earlier versions of
a PDF in PDFBox if there are incremental updates.  I found [1], and
that's easy enough, but I worry about %%EOF that might show up in
uncompressed streams or comments.  It looks like you actually have to
do a full parse to make sure that %%EOF means (or meant) %%EOF. :D

   I'm happy enough with the simple version and attempting to parse the
document as a worst-case scenario.

   Thank you.

           Best,

                Tim
