Adrian Romano commented on PDFBOX-413:
--------------------------------------
If you are just trying to extract text, I don't see any reason to use the
LucenePDFDocument class. The following code will get the text from the google
PDF:
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load( "c:\\google.pdf");
PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
stripper.setSortByPosition( false );
stripper.setStartPage( 1 );
stripper.setEndPage( Integer.MAX_VALUE );
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new
FileOutputStream("c:\\google.txt"));
stripper.writeText( document, writer );
writer.close();
document.close();
You can also look at the ExtractText.java. If you are actually trying to use
the Lucene stuff, then I can't help you.
