Hi
I am trying to read multiple pages from PDF , for that i changed the start
and end parameter in the ExtractTextObjects class. But it gives the
following erro aftter reading successfully the text from the first page.
======================ERROR=======================================
Processing content from page 2
Reading resources object 2 0 R
Reading fonts
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.jpedal.fonts.PdfFontsData.putWidth(PdfFontsData.java:696)
at
org.jpedal.fonts.PdfFontsData.readAllTypeFont(PdfFontsData.java:447)
at org.jpedal.PdfObjects.readFonts(PdfObjects.java:581)
at org.jpedal.PdfObjects.readResources(PdfObjects.java:468)
at org.jpedal.PdfDecoder.decodePage(PdfDecoder.java:176)
at
org.jpedal.examples.ExtractTextObjectsNEW.<init>(ExtractTextObjectsNE
W.java:145)
at
org.jpedal.examples.ExtractTextObjectsNEW.main(ExtractTextObjectsNEW.
java:259)
Exception java.lang.NullPointerException reading font
=============================================================
It reads the first page without any problem, but while it iterates for the
subsequent pages it does not work and gives the NullPointer Exception. has
anyone encountered something liek this,,, am i missing something. At the
moment i ma hardCoding the start as
start = 1
end =10
for the number of pages. But it gives the error. I tried to use the
getPageCount() method declared in pdfDecoder.java , but this method returns
0 always as count. I am using the following code :::
//decode_pdf = new PdfDecoder( false );
//--------------------------Lines
ADDED----------------------------------
decode_pdf = new PdfDecoder( true );
pageCount = decode_pdf.getPageCount();
if (pageCount > start)
{ end = pageCount;
}
System.out.println( "TOTAL PAGE COUNT IS
=================== :" + pageCount );
//------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* open the file (and read metadata including pages
in file)
*/
System.out.println( "Opening NEW file :" + file_name
);
decode_pdf.openPdfFile( file_name );
}
catch( Exception e )
{
System.err.println( "Exception " + e + " in pdf
code" );
System.exit( 1 );
}
I flush each page object at the end
decode_pdf.flushObjectValues( true );
Will appritiate for your positive and quick reply.
Best Regards.
vin.

Hi Vin!
With JPedal you process one page at a time by calling the method decodePage
and supply the number of the page you want to process as argument.
In the example ExtractTextObjects the total number of pages is hard-coded to
1 (the variable end is set to 1 in the constructor), try to set the number
of pages by using the getPageCount method instead.
Best regards
Mikael Söderman
PS. Don't forget to always call flushObjectValues when done with a page.
This will make JPedal reuse memory.
