AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_object' #1689
Description
Hello,
I'm using pypdf to get pages from a pdf file, which is working fine for most of the files.
But for a specific file, I'm getting the exception below:
File "/home/obr01/python-venv/opencapture/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pypdf/_page.py", line 2342, in __getitem__
len_self = len(self)
File "/home/obr01/python-venv/opencapture/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pypdf/_page.py", line 2333, in __len__
return self.length_function()
File "/home/obr01/python-venv/opencapture/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pypdf/_reader.py", line 452, in _get_num_pages
self._flatten()
File "/home/obr01/python-venv/opencapture/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pypdf/_reader.py", line 1185, in _flatten
pages = catalog["/Pages"].get_object() # type: ignore
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_object'
Apparently this is comming from the value of "/Pages" in the Reader trailer, which is "None" for this file :
pdf_reader = pypdf.PdfReader(file_path, strict=False)
print(pdf_reader.trailer['/Root']['/Pages']) Output :
Object 2178 0 not defined.
None
Is there any way to handle this case?
Thanks,
