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.writeText(PDFTextStripper.java:266)
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.

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 singlemainmethod, importing just the PDF package, compiled with justjavac? If so, awesome, that's debuggable. If not: the problem is somewhere else.

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 singlemainmethod, importing just the PDF package, compiled with justjavac? If so, awesome, that's debuggable. If not: the problem is somewhere else.
