Hello , While parsing a PDF file using PDFBox v1.2.1 I get a warning. When I googled for this warning I see it was a bug and fixed in v0.7.3 ... But it seems to still exist. You can download the PDF file from here : http://www.4shared.com/document/BL3eiOu7/expected_hex_character.html
Here is the warning : WARNING: java.io.IOException: Error: expected hex character and not :32 java.io.IOException: Error: expected hex character and not :32 at org.apache.fontbox.cmap.CMapParser.parseNextToken(CMapParser.java:336) at org.apache.fontbox.cmap.CMapParser.parse(CMapParser.java:139) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.parseCmap(PDFont.java:556) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.encode(PDFont.java:390) at org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFStreamEngine.processEncodedText(PDFStreamEngine.java:386) And here is my code : PDDocument pdfFile = PDDocument.load( "C:\\expected_hex_character.pdf" ); PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper(); String data = stripper.getText( pdfFile ); // The warning occurs here while parsing the PDF. Best regards , Hesham
