It is possible that it is one single PDF that is having an issue. Can you
track it down to that one and let me know which it is. It would be very
helpful if you could send it to me as well.

I would try two things.

Yes, just add the log4j configuration. The easiest way to do that is as a
system parameter like this
java -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.xml org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML
-create -index c:\\index ..
Where log4j.xml is the path to your log4j config, PDFBox has an example
one you can use.
