I tried to load a rather large image (16708x12811), but without any notice, image.image has been None.

Environment

Which environment were you using when you encountered the problem?

$ python -m platform
Linux-6.4.0-150600.23.42-default-x86_64-with-glibc2.2.5

$ python -c "import pypdf;print(pypdf._debug_versions)"
pypdf==5.4.0, crypt_provider=('cryptography', '44.0.0'), PIL=11.1.0

Code + PDF

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

from pypdf import PdfReader

reader = PdfReader('file.pdf')
for page in reader.pages:
    print(page)
    for name, image in page.images.items():
        print(name)
        print(image.image.width)

I cannot share the PDF file here for privacy reasons.

Traceback

This is the complete traceback I see:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'width'

Printing the exception in

Image size (214046188 pixels) exceeds limit of 178956970 pixels, could be decompression bomb DOS attack.

With this approach, relevant information might get lost and thus we should at least issue a logger_warning here.
