----------------------------------
Summary: StringIndexOutOfBound on DateConverter.toCalendar
Key: PDFBOX-1803
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1803
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: PDModel, Utilities
Affects Versions: 1.8.3
Reporter: Eric Leleu
Priority: Minor
Attachments: PDFBox-DateConverter-Br18.patch,
PDFBox-DateConverter-Trunk.patch
Some PDF have an empty string as CreationDate & ModDate in the Information
Dictionary.
According to the PDF specification, this two element are optional.
My first fix was to test the null & the empty string in the toCalendar(String,
String[]) method and I return null if one of the both condition is verified.
But according to a test case(TestDateUtil) a NullPointer is expected on null
value of text. Can you explain why this behaviour has been adopted?
To fixe this unexpected exception in my execution path, I have added a test on
the empty string in the deprecated method toCalendar(String). (Patch in
attachment)
I'm waiting your comment before commit this patch (or change it by my first
implementation)
