So after having some troubles with opening certain pdfs with the “latest release” of pdfbox (0.7.3) I found the orphaned site for 0.7.4 and eventually found my way to the incubator and thought I would give it a shot.
*Build Issue:* I’m not very experienced with java but I got it to build for java. Then, when building for .NET – aside from a few warnings I got that it couldn’t find jai_core and jai_codec. I found that these had been removed as dependencies but that nobody had removed them from the .NET portion of the build.xml file. I removed them and it ran just fine. I also had to edit the build.xml to correct the path to the command line utils. They were /classes/org/apache… When they should’ve been /target/classes/org/apache… *Exception issue:* Occasionally as I run through pdfs I find a passworded one which used to throw a java.io exception. Problem is that since going to the latest incubator build it gives no details. Old Exception: java.io.IOException: Error decrypting document, details: Error: The supplied password does not match either the owner or user password in the document. New Exception: org.apache.pdfbox.exceptions.WrappedIOException: Error decrypting document, details: It ends with “details:” and then gives nothing.
