veraPDF 1.28.2 gui - exceptionMessage - ReferenceError: "BM" is not defined #1557

Description

@sweco-sekrsv
id="gui" version="1.28.2"
Report type: Validation
PDF flavour: Auto-detect

Attached below are two files that veraPDF gui cant open and check for validation. The error is:

Exception: "Caught unexpected runtime exception during validation caused by exception: ReferenceError: "BM" is not defined."
And sometimes also:"Error while fixing metadata: PDFAFlavour 0 is not supported by this directory."

I get the same error on many other (roughly 5-10 % of all files I have checked) files which are created from many different PDF producers. Some examples of the producers are:

  • Microsoft® Excel® för Office 365
  • PDF-XChange Standard (8.0 build 331) [GDI] [Windows 10 Enterprise x64 (Build 19044)]
  • Adobe PDF Library 17.0
  • PDF-XChange Standard (10.6.0 build 396) [GDI] [Windows 11 Enterprise x64 (Build 22631)]
  • PDF-XChange Core API SDK (10.4.4.392)
  • ViewCompanion
  • PDFsharp 1.50.4845 (www.pdfsharp.com) (Original: pdfplot13.hdi 13.00.402.000)
  • Rasterex Software a.s
