Subject: Bug report

 

Hi,

 

I assume this is the best (only?) was to enter a bug report for PDFBox
1.8.4.

 

How to reproduce:

 

Enter the command line with the attached file:

 

java -jar "C:\Program Files\PDFBox 1.8.4\pdfbox-app-1.84.jar" ExtractText
-sort SoutheastAsiaEnergyOutlook_WEO2013SpecialReport.pdf

 

Then the following exception happens:

 

ExtractText failed with the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general
contract!
