Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2602:
-----------------------------------------
The error message from "decode" isn't really helpful: if the file doesn't
exist, the output is
Error writing decoded PDF: filename.pdf
My suggestion would be to at least add the exception class short name. Or
output the full exception stack trace.
> Enhance command line tools

> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.0 PDFBox
>
>
> The command line tools shall be enhanced to have the same behavior across all
> tools.
> From the discussion on the dev mailing list
> - add an -h option to print the usage
> - print the usage to System.err and use an exit code of 1 if there was an
> invalid command line parameter
> - print messages on exceptions to System.err
> - rethrow the exception so java can handle it if it will terminate afterwards
> anyway
> - use an exit code of 1if rethrowing doesn't make sense
> Additional input:
