Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, no. PDFBox have recently moved their Java packages from org.pdfbox to org.apache.pdfbox, so I can’t just grab a PDFBox.jar from the tip of trunk and use it. It may be possible to build a trunk PDFBox.jar and then modify the GSearch imports to use the new packages, but I haven’t tested that yet: I’m trying to contain my changes as much as possible for now. > There is no exact plan for a next release of GSearch.

Thanks for clarifying! For anyone else who may have a similar issue, I’ve confirmed that my problems were caused by this PDFBox bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-361 This is a bug in the PDFBox parser that causes it to fail to parse crossreference streams. Crossreference streams are a feature introduced in PDF 1.5. Adobe Acrobat 9 was the first release of that program to produce crossreference streams. The bug description contains a patch. PDFBox fixed the bug by applying the patch to their repository. I’ve modified the patch to apply to PDFBox 0.7.2 (the version supplied with GSearch 2.2) and attached it below. PDFBox 0.7.2 source is available from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfbox/files/ -- Ben Ranker <[email protected]> Emory University Libraries
