Problem with json export

[lesouriciergris]

Hi,

With a panel of more than 5.000 PDFs to analyse, we have identified another problem with some PDFs (sample attached) . This sample is a Microsoft Excel file, modified and exported to PDF.

essai.pdf

With peepdf -j essai.pdf :

[!] Error: Exception while generating the JSON report

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/crc/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/peepdf/peepdf.py", line 33
2, in main
    jsonReport = getPeepJSON(statsDict, VERSION)
  File "/home/crc/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/peepdf/PDFUtils.py", line
668, in getPeepJSON
    ids[idx] = ids[idx].split(f"Version {idx}: ")[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

The error seems to come from <id0>Version 1:, export in json is expecting <id0>Version 0:

With peepdf -x essai.pdf everything works :
