Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Text extraction
Affects Versions: 0.7.0
Reporter: Jignesh Sh
Hi All,
I am facing problem in extracting text using PDFBox.
Program hang at the line pdfText = stripper.getText(pdDoc); and returns nothing.
Actually I am using PDFBox version PDFBox-0.6.7a.jar
Here is my code
public String getPDFContent(ZipEntry pdfEntry)
{
boolean status = false;
String pdfText = null;
ZipIssueFactory issueFactory = null;
logger.debug("Processing : " + pdfEntry.getName());
COSDocument cosDoc = null;
PDDocument pdDoc = null;
try
{
cosDoc =
parseDocument(zipFile.getInputStream(pdfEntry)); // Load InputStream into
memory
// skipping the PDF document, if it is encrypted
if (cosDoc.isEncrypted()) {
logger.warn("Can not decrypt PDF document w/o
password, skipping:"+ pdfEntry.getName());
return pdfText;
}
// extract PDF document's textual content
pdDoc = new PDDocument(cosDoc);
PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
pdfText = stripper.getText(pdDoc);
}
catch (IOException e) {
pdfText = null;
logger.error("IOException in parsing PDF document: " + e);
}
finally{
closeCOSDocument(cosDoc);
closePDDocument(pdDoc);
}
return pdfText;
}
private static COSDocument parseDocument(InputStream is) throws IOException {
PDFParser parser = new PDFParser(is);
parser.parse();
return parser.getDocument();
}
