I've found a nice fix. Now it's all your 😀

I've tested it with https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/files/12160419/table_redacted.pdf and now I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/moose/Github/py-pdf/pypdf/sample-files/foo.py", line 20, in <module>
    run("table_redacted.pdf")
  File "/home/moose/Github/py-pdf/pypdf/sample-files/foo.py", line 13, in run
    for image in page.images:

    yield self[i]

  File "/home/moose/Github/py-pdf/pypdf/pypdf/_page.py", line 2629, in __getitem__
    return self.get_function(lst[index])
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    return self.inline_images[id]

KeyError: '~0~'

Which code did you use for testing? Did you remove page.inline_images = dict()?

Thank you - I forgot that 🙈

Before (current main):

• 4.24s: 009-pdflatex-geotopo/GeoTopo.pdf
• 2.88s: 009-pdflatex-geotopo/GeoTopo-komprimiert.pdf

With this PR:

• 2.01s: 009-pdflatex-geotopo/GeoTopo.pdf
• 0.44s: 009-pdflatex-geotopo/GeoTopo-komprimiert.pdf

Good work 🎉

can you clarify the code you are using ? page.inline_images = dict() is normally not required

Yes, I was adding page.inline_images = dict(). That was leading to the error. However, I would not consider this a blocker as this is modifying pypdf behavior in an unexpected way.

I want to have a final look after work, but so far it seems like a great improvement. I'll likely merge it as it is :-)
