You got it right, PDF is within a www page. And it's URL is known & passed
as a variable (strURL) to the function. Another approach which I tried to
get the content of pdf rendered there, but that is also not working -
byte[] ba1 = new byte[1024];
int baLength;
FileOutputStream fos1 = new FileOutputStream("download.pdf");
URL url = new URL(strURL);
URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
InputStream is1 = url.openStream();
while ((baLength = is1.read(ba1)) != -1) {
fos1.write(ba1, 0, baLength);
}
fos1.flush();
fos1.close();
is1.close();
pdDoc = PDDocument.load("download.pdf");
parsedText = pdfStripper.getText(pdDoc);
