Neil McErlean commented on PDFBOX-914:
--------------------------------------
Just some context: this may seem like a trivial case. But we have many document
transformation scenarios that use PDFBox (or could do) and if a "broken" PDF is
produced during a chain, it breaks the whole transformation chain.
It would be really helpful to us if this was included.
Thank you! :)

> 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.
