Hello,
I have been using PDFBox to get text from PDF's and validate some of it.
Recently I have had
Problems parsing the PDF's, more precisely I get an java.io.ioexception. I use
the following code
To get the text from PDF:
public String getTextFromPDF(URL url, int readTimeout, int connectTimeout)
throws IOException {
try {
//open connection
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
//set caching to false
conn.setUseCaches( false );
//set read timeout
conn.setReadTimeout( readTimeout );
//set connect timeout
conn.setConnectTimeout( connectTimeout );
//get input stream from connection
InputStream fileToParse = conn.getInputStream();
System.out.println( fileToParse.toString());
//parser object
PDFParser parser = new PDFParser(fileToParse, null, true);
parser.parse();
//do parse
//parser.parse();
//get document
PDDocument pdoc = parser.getPDDocument();
//get stripper object
PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
//get text
String text = stripper.getText( pdoc );
//close doc
pdoc.close();
//disconnect
conn.disconnect();
//reset connection (set to nothing)
conn = null;
//reset file
fileToParse = null;
//reset parser
parser = null;
//return content
return text;
}
The error message I get is this (line 51 is where I call parser.parse() above):
