v1.14.2

flowglad/flowgladv1.14.2Aug 13, 2026by abimaelmartell

AI Summary

This release hardens parsing against pathological PDFs that could cause unbounded CPU or memory usage. It implements strict resource bounds for Form XObjects, CID ranges, and content streams while improving text extraction quality within nested Form XObjects.

Key Highlights

Caps resource expansion (Form XObject, CID ranges, content streams) to prevent DoS
Form XObjects now track text line matrix and honor spacing operators
Small-caps runs merge correctly to prevent false column detection

New Features

Resource bounds enforcement for Form XObject and CID ranges
Improved Form XObject text matrix tracking
Better handling of small-caps text

## 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)
