I've encountered my first stumble-block... When I try to import my
Acrobat-generated XFDF file I get this exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Error: Header doesn't
contain versioninfo
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.FDFParser.parse(FDFParser.java:160)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.fdf.FDFDocument.load(FDFDocument.java:184)
at RedactClip.main(RedactClip.java:15)
Any ideas?
PS. I'm using PDFBox 2.0.6
