v1.14.2

t8y2/dbxv1.14.2Aug 13, 2026by abimaelmartell

AI Summary

This release focuses on security and stability by capping resource expansion limits for crafted PDFs to prevent unbounded CPU or memory usage. It also improves parsing quality regarding nested Form XObjects and small-caps text handling.

Key Highlights

Caps Form XObject expansion, CID `/W` ranges, Encoding/ToUnicode CMaps, and content-stream decode to prevent crafted PDFs from forcing unbounded resources.
Form XObjects now track the text line matrix and honor spacing commands like `T*` / `TL` / `'` / `"` / `Tc` / `Tw`.
Small-caps runs merge instead of being read as extra table columns.

New Features

Resource bound limits for Form XObject, CID range, and CMap expansion.
Text line matrix tracking in Form XObjects to handle spacing commands.
Small-caps run merging logic to prevent misinterpretation as table columns.

## 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)
