--------------------------------------
Summary: IndexOutOfBoundsException when setting
DefaultFontProvider in FontMapper
Key: PDFBOX-4579
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4579
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: FontBox, PDModel, Text extraction
Affects Versions: 2.0.15
Reporter: Joakim Nilsson
When parsing certain pdf's, I'm encountering an IndexOutOfBoundsException in
WindowsFontDirFinder.java on line 106:
{code:java}
psFontsDir = new File(windir.substring(0, 2) + File.separator + "PSFONTS");
{code}
WindowsFontDirFinder is used by the statement on line 128 in
FontMapperImpl.java in my case:
{code:java}
private static final FontProvider INSTANCE = new
FileSystemFontProvider(fontCache);
{code}
The cause of the error is that the value of windir is "" (empty string), at
least during debugging in Windows. However, I should mention that parsing of
the same document also fails on ubuntu. While I don't know the exact mechanism
of the failure on ubuntu, I assume it is related.
The code checks whether windir is null before doing the substring operation,
but not whether the length is in fact >2. I'm not sure why windir ends up being
"" here, as the windir env var is C:\WINDOWS.
A working fix for me was to change the windir null check on line 94 to:
{code:java}
if (windir != null && !windir.equals(""))
{code}
