Java 8 PDFbox can't getText of pdf file












0















I am working on an application in Java 8 to process text from PDFs. I am using PDFbox version 2.0.12 in a Maven project. I am using the following method to extract text from a number of PDFs:



for(File file : fileEntry){

    PDDocument pdd = PDDocument.load(file);

    PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();

    String text = stripper.getText(pdd);

    System.out.println(text);

}


However, on this particular file:



http://www.o-cha.net/english/cup/pdf/29.pdf



I'm getting the following exception: 



Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: TTF fonts do not have a CFF table

at org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper.getText(PDFTextStripper.java:227)


I'm not sure, but I believe this is because the PDF is using some font which PDFbox is not familiar with. I'm not sure this is the case, because as far as I'm aware the getText method of the PDFTextStripper class should ignore all styling. The documentation states:




This class will take a pdf document and strip out all of the text and ignore the formatting and such.




If this is the case, why am I getting this exception?



Thank you in advanced.

  • I try your code and works fine, check if you file is not corrupt.

  • Works fine for me when using the ExtractText command line utility of pdfbox-app. I do get three warn messages like "Using fallback ArialUnicodeMS for CID-keyed font FutoMinA101-Bold" but these are harmless in this context. Please test with the command line utility too. And check if you have several different versions in your classpath.

  • I cannot reproduce the issue either, not with the current PDFBox snapshot and not with the release 2.0.12. Probably your download is corrupt, probably your runtime class path does contain a different PDFBox (or dependency) version

    Always remember that in cases like these, you want to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example, not just "so others have something to test", but also to help yourself do a sanity check: does it actually go wrong in a new dir with just a Test.java with a single main method, importing just the PDF package, compiled with just javac? If so, awesome, that's debuggable. If not: the problem is somewhere else.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?
