I have several PDF files from customers, and using
remove_text
can cause infinite looping. Upon investigation, I discovered a corner case whereelt["/Resources"]
has a circular relation, which can result in callingclean_forms(content, stack + [elt])
infinitely.I proposed keeping a memory variable
visited_resources
to keep track of whichelt["/Resources"]
has been processed and to avoid infinite looping.The corner case files are private and cannot be shared, but I believe many people would encounter the same problem.
Closes #2474
