Hi There
When calling PDFBox to extract text from PDF documents, I find that it
is prudent to wrap the calls with a Throwable clause since
PDFBox appears to frequently generate Null Pointer and Class Cast
exceptions.
Occasionally, I receive null pointer exceptions in the following:
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageNode.getAllKids(List, COSDictionary,
boolean) (The method calls itself recursively) [NULL POINTER]
org.apache.pdfbox.encryption.DocumentEncryption.decryptDocument(String)
[CLASSCAST EXCEPTION]
I am using the latest checkout from svn.
I am sorry I don't have more information than since I obtained the
exception from a long running application.
Regards,
Jamie
