Panagiotis Mpailis created TIKA-1822:
----------------------------------------
Summary: NullPointerException when parsing a .doc file
Key: TIKA-1822
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1822
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 1.8
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Panagiotis Mpailis
We are using Tika 1.11 to extract text from msword documents, and there are a
few errors occurring when processing some docs.
This ticket relates to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1733 however
in this case there is an unexpected NullPointerException and not a clear
indication of the error.
Processing a saved copy of the document solves the error altogether. A
difference found between the two documents was that the
_(HWPFDocument)document.getRange()_ returned different values.
