Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-586:
-------------------------------------------
Usally, I'm using the trunk version within eclipse. To match your environment
I've swiched to an environment using the precompiled 1.1.0 binaries. I didn't
remove anything like encryption or lucene support. My main development platform
is linux, but if neccessary a Mac or windows system is also available.
As you are talking about 60% of pdfs which are failing I'm sure there is
something wrong with your environment. Is the "Resources" directory part of
your classpath? Especially the glyphlist.txt is needed inmany cases to decode
the text. Due to some license restrictions it is not part of the source-jar. It
will be automatically downloaded if you are using maven or ant to build pdfbox.
> Text Extraction Regression ?

> Hi,
> I have noticed that I can extract text some PDF files in PDFBox 0.7.4 but for
> the same file, the same page, PDFBox 1.1.0 doesn't retreive any text, or the
> extraction is worst.
> Am I the only only one who think there is a regression in text extraction ?
> My code is like this :
> PDDocument document = PDDocument.load("/sdcard/internals.pdf");
> int numberOfPages = document.getNumberOfPages();
> resources = this.getResources();
>
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() resources : "+resources); //
> ANDROID code here to get file
> resourceGlyphList = R.raw.glyphlist;
> InputStream rawResource =
> resources.openRawResource(R.raw.pdftextstripper); // PDFBOX property file
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() rawResource : "+rawResource);
> Properties properties = new Properties();
> properties.load(rawResource);
>
> PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper(properties );
>
> stripper.setStartPage(pageNumber ); // 1 or any other page
> stripper.setEndPage(pageNumber ); // same page as above
> String s = "Page : "+pageNumber+"<br><br>"+stripper.getText(document);
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() stripper extract pages text
> : "+s);
> Maybe I should use page.getContents().getStream() or
> stripper.getTextForRegion( "class1" ) or stripper.writeText(doc,
> outputStream)
> I want the text as a String, not as a newly created file....
