v1.14.2

firecrawl/pdf-inspectorv1.14.2Aug 13, 2026by abimaelmartell

AI Summary

Focuses on security and stability by hardening parsing against pathological PDFs that could cause unbounded resource usage, while also improving text extraction accuracy for nested forms and small-caps text.

Key Highlights

Caps resource expansion (Form XObject, CID ranges, decode, CMaps, lookback) to prevent DoS attacks.
Form XObjects now track the text line matrix and honor spacing operators like T* and TL.
Small-caps runs merge instead of being read as extra table columns.
Improves handling of running headers, footers, and numbered reference notes.

New Features

Resource bounds to prevent unbounded CPU/memory usage
Text line matrix tracking in Form XObjects
Small-caps run merging
Improved disjoint-rect table clustering

## 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)
