Hi guys, I am running PDFBox 1.8.1, which AFAIK is current.
The issue appears to be specific to using PDSimpleFont. When I changed to PDTrueTypeFont and passed it an TTF file for Arial it is working, so I was able to "fix" the issue at least for now. :) Here is the file that is not stamping: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1413139/test_wont_stamp.pdf Note that the error only happens with certain strings that you pass it. With the source code that I have provided here: https://gist.github.com/**leonardteo/**3b8567e7f747ef640b70<https://gist.github.com/leonardteo/3b8567e7f747ef640b70> Pass these arguments in: "test_wont_stamp.pdf" "out.pdf" "Prepared exclusively for [customer_name] by American Vision. Duplication Prohibited." "Eric Hamm" "1867" "17 May 2013" "[email protected]" It will cause the exception on page 4. I changed the font to using TTF and it works: InputStream stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/fonts/Arial.ttf"); PDFont font = PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(doc, stream); I will remove the PDF file in a few days as it is copyright. I just wanted to help debug this issue.
