Martijn Brinkers commented on PDFBOX-858:
-----------------------------------------
You should decrypt the document before parsing:
if (document.isEncrypted())
{
try {
/*
* Try to decrypt with standard password
*/
document.decrypt(null);
}
catch (CryptographyException e) {
// handle
}
catch (InvalidPasswordException e) {
// handle
}
}
The meta info seems to be encrypted with the default password. The meta info
can be read by me when the PDF is decrypted.
> Metadata extraction broken on some PDF files

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1, 1.3.1
> Reporter: Patrik Stenmark
> Attachments: 2001Derivatives and Public Debt Mngt.pdf,
> RethinkingTheFinancialNetwork.pdf

>
> On certain PDF files (examples attached), the metadata extraction seems to be
> broken. Preview (on Mac OS X) and Acrobat Reader is able to read the
> metadata, but PDFbox gives complete jibberish:
> Author=è'ÿÆ??kÔ7??ÕªG?
> I've tried both the version included in Tika 0.7 (1.0.0 I believe) and
> r1021264 from SVN.
