Hello:
Here's a brand new PDFBox user with a problem Aug 12, 2011 11:57:52 AM org.apache.pdfbox.filter.FlateFilter decode SEVERE: Stop reading corrupt stream I've found these [possibly] related issues https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-872 [resolved] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-697 [unresolved] mentioned as possible duplicate of 872 I'm using PDFBox version 1.6 / Windows XP/ Java 7. Two PDF docs in question are 1.4. One was created by the PDFComplete plugin to Windows Word 2010. The other was created by OpenOffice 3.x Write from the original Word .docx file. Comments in the issues [above] seem related to encryption/decryption, but the docs have not been encrypted [unless these producing tools do so implicitly]. The files can both be viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader and don't require a password. The code in question looks like String result = null; try ( FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( file ); ) { PDFParser parser = new PDFParser( fis ); parser.parse(); COSDocument cd = parser.getDocument(); PDDocument pd = new PDDocument( cd ); cd.close(); PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper(); result = stripper.getText( pd ); pd.close(); } catch ( FileNotFoundException ex ) { ... } catch ( IOException ex ) {... } And hints or suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks.
