Hi Andreas, in using PDFDebugger (great tool BTW) i found the following.
now please correct me if i'm looking at the wrong data, i have found the filter used for the working PDF file is to be DCTDecode and for the PDF files not working correctly, i have found a filter of jpxdecode and jbig2decode i am using a fresh download of 1.8.2 Thanks Alain ________________________________ From: Andreas Lehmkuehler <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 6, 2013 1:58 PM Subject: Re: Having a problem using PDFParser Hi, Am 06.08.2013 19:07, schrieb Alain: > Hi all, > > I have an application that generates a PDF.

I guess it depends on the used image encoding (CCITT, DCT, JBIG2, JPX etc.), some are well supported others are not. Do you get some console log output (complains about unsupported filters)? > Best Regards > Alain BR Andreas Lehmkühler
