A document generated using PDFBox 2.0.0-RC3 cannot be read fully by the latest
version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which says "An error exists on this page.
Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who
created the PDF document to correct the problem." The identical document
created using PDFBox 1.8.11 reads in Acrobat Reader just fine. After using
Acrobat Pro to increase the width of the bounding box around the first page
text "Can this amount change after closing?", the rest of the text on the page
showed up. The same problem showed up with other text on the following pages.
Both documents read and display properly using PDFBox PDFDebugger.
www.pdf-tools.com/pdf/validate-pdfa-online.aspx says the differences between
the 1.8.11 analysis and the 2.0.0-RC3 analysis are:
The key Type is required but missing. (2)
The operator has an invalid number of operands. (5)
The document doesn't conform to the PDF reference (missing
required entries, wrong value types, etc.)
The font being used is PDType1Font.HELVETICA. The code being used to print the
text is straightforward:
try {
// position is offset from the bottom left corner of the page
pdContent.beginText();
// (the font is set in a prior .font() call)
// 1/2016 1.x:
pdContent.moveTextPositionByAmount(points(dHoriz), posY(dVert));
pdContent.newLineAtOffset(points(dHoriz), posY(dVert));
// 1/2016: pdContent.drawString(textOrCallback.toString());
pdContent.showText(textOrCallback.toString());
pdContent.endText();
}
catch (IOException ioe) {
// (unlikely)
throw new RuntimeException(ioe);
}
We substituted the (deprecated) .drawString() for .showText() with the same
error result.
