v1.14.2

THU-MAIC/OpenMAICv1.14.2Aug 13, 2026by abimaelmartell

AI Summary

This update focuses on hardening the parser against crafted PDFs that could cause unbounded CPU or memory usage (DoS) and improves extraction quality for nested form text.

Key Highlights

  • Caps resource expansion for Form XObjects, CID ranges, and CMaps to prevent unbounded CPU/memory usage.
  • Tracks the text line matrix in Form XObjects to honor spacing commands like T* and TL.
  • Merges small-caps runs to prevent them from being misinterpreted as table columns.

New Features

  • Resource bounds (Form XObject expansion, CID ranges, CMap expansion)
  • Text line matrix tracking in Form XObjects
  • Small-caps run merging

## Highlights

- Caps Form XObject expansion, CID `/W` ranges, Encoding/ToUnicode CMaps, content-stream decode, detector `Tj`/`TJ` lookback, and disjoint-rect clustering so crafted PDFs cannot force unbounded CPU or memory (#370, #372, #373, #375, #379, #380, #381).
- Form XObjects now track the text line matrix and honor `T*` / `TL` / `'` / `"` / `Tc` / `Tw`, so nested form text keeps the right spacing (#369).
- Small-caps runs merge instead of being read as extra table columns (#371).

## Changes since 1.14.1

Source: [`f4aab3b...4bee4f9`](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/compare/f4aab3b...4bee4f9)

### Resource bounds
- Bound Form XObject expansion per page (#370)
- Bound CID `/W` range expansion (#372)
- Cap content-stream decode before allocating operators (#373)
- Bound Encoding CMap `cidrange` expansion (#375)
- Bound ToUnicode `bfrange` expansion during subset remap (#379)
- Bound detector `Tj`/`TJ` operand lookback to the previous operator (#380)
- Bound disjoint-rect table clustering so overlap tests stay subquadratic (#381)

### Extraction quality
- Track the text line matrix and handle `T*` / `TL` / `'` / `"` / `Tc` / `Tw` in Form XObjects (#369)
- Merge small-caps runs so they stop reading as table columns (#371)
