PDFBOX's date parser can throw a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if a date string for parsing is empty or contains only spaces. A few of my test pdfs have this "feature." I've raised PDFBOX-1883. Until that is resolved, we can add an extra catch to prevent this from causing problems in TIKA {noformat} @@ -171,6 +171,9 @@ addMetadata(metadata, TikaCoreProperties.CREATED, info.getCreationDate()); } catch (IOException e) { // Invalid date format, just ignore + } catch (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException e){ + //remove after PDFBOX-1883 is fixed + // Invalid date format, just ignore } try { Calendar modified = info.getModificationDate(); @@ -178,6 +181,9 @@ addMetadata(metadata, TikaCoreProperties.MODIFIED, modified); } catch (IOException e) { // Invalid date format, just ignore + } catch (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException e){ + //remove after PDFBOX-1883 is fixed + // Invalid date format, just ignore } {noformat} I'd commit now, but I don't want to interfere with cutting of 1.5. Let me know if I should commit, or please do it for me if appropriate. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
