Sorry if this topic has been covered, but the mail archive search is broken and I couldn't find any answers while browsing around.
I'm trying to index a few thousand pdf files and pdftotext is failing to convert several hundred of them. It works on the others and they are all indexed fine and produce good results. Every one of the failures has this error message (with an occasionally different error number).
!! Error (52371): No current point in closepath
When I run pdftotext by hand I get the same results. I've tried comparing the document info from several examples of good files to the bad ones but there's nothing consistent that I've noticed. I couldn't find any useful troubleshooting information on the xpdf site, and the only thing I've seen in my search for answers as to why this happens is, 'rebuild the files'.
Rebuilding several hundred files is prohibitive, and since the files are readable by Acrobat, I need all the info I can get my hands on before I tell my users that their files are messed up and they have to re-do them.
Any clues about what causes this, and how the users can avoid it in the future if they do have to rebuild their files?
Thanks,
Brad Newman
