Hi,
I know my answer won't be an exact answer to your question, But this is a really acceptable workaround, Have a look to Camel-Tika component. https://github.com/wheijke/camel-tika Old stuff, but perfectly working Regards, Francois ________________________________ From: Luc Engelen <l...@kabisa.nl> Sent: Monday, June 6, 2016 9:28:42 AM To: users@camel.apache.org Subject: Failing to extract text with Camel PDF component Hi, I'm trying to extract text from PDF files using the Camel PDF component. Unfortunately, I'm running into a NullPointerException each time I send a PDF file to the component. I've set up a route in a Camel test that connects a direct component to a PDF component. When I send PDF files to the direct component, the exception is thrown once the message reaches the PDF component. The exception is thrown in the class PdfProducer. The line "PDDocument document = exchange.getIn().getBody(PDDocument.class);" in this class results in document being null. When a method is called on document, the NullPointerException is thrown. As far as I can tell, this is the result of a missing TypeConverter. The failing test is available on Github: https://github.com/ljpengelen/camel-pdf-integration-test. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
