Using TextToPDF to create a PDF from the empty string produces unreadble PDF
file (patch included)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-914
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-914
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Environment: All
Reporter: Neil McErlean
Fix For: 1.4.0
If you create a PDF document from org.apache.pdfbox.TextToPDF like so:
TextToPDF pdfCreator = new TextToPDF();
PDDocument pdfDoc = pdfCreator.createPDFFromText(new StringReader(""));
// Note the empty String
then it does produce a PDF file. But the file cannot be opened as it contains
no pages.
Adobe Reader (I have 9.4.1), and Mac OSX's Preview/Quicklook cannot open the
document.
I have attached (or will do in a minute) a patch that includes a test case that
reproduces the problem (no PDPages in a PDF with no text).
And I've patched TextToPDF so that it inserts a single empty page for an empty
string input.
