[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-1018) PDPage convertToImage bug creates
white images from black and white pdf files.
PDPage convertToImage bug creates white images from black and white pdf files.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-1018
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1018
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: PDModel
Affects Versions: 1.3.1, 1.4.0
Environment: JDK 1.6.0_21
Reporter: Roland Quast
Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
When converting a PDPage of this pdf into an image, the resulting file is always a white image with no contents.
The following message appeared in the log output (It doesn't seem to be a duplicate of PDFBOX-794.) :
ERROR filter.FlateFilter - Stop reading corrupt stream
Here's the code used to convert the image :
@Test
public void testConvertImage() {
try {
PDDocument pdDocument = PDDocument.load("pdf_causing_white_pages.pdf");
List<PDPage> documentPageList = pdDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
TestCase.assertNotNull(documentPageList);
int pageNumber = 1;
for (PDPage tmpPage :documentPageList){
BufferedImage tempImage = tmpPage.convertToImage();
ImageIO.write(tempImage,"jpeg", new File("result_"+pageNumber+".jpeg"));
pageNumber ++;
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
TestCase.fail(e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
TestCase.fail(e.getMessage());
}
}

--------------------------------------------
That's a cool bug report, the best I ever saw!!
As I already mentioned earlier, PDFBox doesn't supports the decoding of the CCITTFaxDecode-filter out of the. This only works if one includes the optional JAI jar. See PDFBOX-955 for further details.

I agree with Roland concerning the error message. We should change it to something more meaningful.
Due to the license issue we can't bundle pdfbox with the mentioned jar so that it is a good idea to use something else.

I'm experimenting with the TIFFFaxDecoder which is part of Apache XMLGraphics [1]. It works with your pdf but fails with others. I've to dig deeper into it and try to understand decode algo.

Description:
This bug has been reported in various other tickets submitted before. I am attempting to conclusively prove that this is an issue, and it needs to be attended to since all past tickets regarding this bug have been marked invalid.
I have attached a video showing very basic code that will reproduce the issue. I have also attached the code that causes the issue, as well as a PDF file that works (a color one), and a black and white PDF file that doesn't.
The main issue is that when reading a black and white PDF file (see attached black and white pdf file), the following message is displayed, and the contents of the output image is completely white.

[jira] [Resolved] (PDFBOX-1018) Remove imageIO dependency (was:

Posted by "Andreas Lehmkühler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1018?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andreas Lehmkühler resolved PDFBOX-1018.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.6.0
The ImageJ lib is GPL licensed which isn't compatible with our apache license. Furthermore it needs the non_com.media.jai.codec which is a early version of the jai-imageIO lib.
I finally figured out how to embed the TIFFFaxDecoder. I remove the JAI dependency in revision 1128912.

Well done! Sorry, I forgot the library was LGPL licensed. Yes, the non_com is also a BSD style license, but old like you say. Now that I've found out XMLGraphics has a TIFF reader, I might end up using that as well. Thanks once again!

You are correct about the lack of the fax decode codec in Sanselan, I just checked it on their supported formats page. I had to fix the same problem in a TIFF file reader before, and after looking at the code I saw that I used ImageJ to do this. I don't know if the code is of any use, but the ImageJ license is public domain.

Roland Quast commented on PDFBOX-1018:
--------------------------------------
Hope you enjoyed my little presentation :-)
I tried jai_imageio.jar as you described and it worked perfectly! Previously I tried jai_core.jar and jai_codec.jar which didn't work. As I mentioned in the video, someone told me that JAI is required to get these PDF files to read, but I didn't know it was jai_imageio.jar.
There are still a few problems though:
1. It shouldn't fail silently. It should throw an exception. It is hard to unit test if you can't catch an exception and you have to assert that the output isn't a white image.
2. The message it throws should be meaningful, not a "null" message on something that is hard to understand.
3. It should mention that you have to use jai_imageio.jar at least in that warning message, or somewhere in the main pages of the PDFBox site.
4. The jai license is not exactly a commercially friendly license. One of the great advantages of using PDFBox is that it uses an Apache license.
5. The jai_imageio.jar contains native code which requires a different jar for each platform. For instance, our app support windows mac and linux. We'd have to use some kind of jar loader to pick the right imageio jar... and that is very difficult.
6. The majority of scanners, when they scan in black and white, will use that codec for PDF.
Having said all of that, what about the chance of using Commons Sanselan (another apache project) which already includes a decoder for that format? The advantage of Sanselan is that it is pure java code (not a native binary), it is Apache licensed and it is stable and mature. I am also assuming it could be distributed with PDFBox at one stage if required.
If you feel like it would take too much time, please let me know and I can try hack up something that works with Sanselan.

Roland Quast commented on PDFBOX-1018:
--------------------------------------
I just tried a snapshot of the trunk and it works great for most pdf files, except for the one I'm about to attach (tast_bb.pdf). It looks like the photometric interpretation isn't working (the implementation of the IS_BLACK COS dictionary value in your new code?).
It is currently showing as inverted black and white. Shall we open another ticket for this?
> Remove imageIO dependency (was: PDPage convertToImage bug creates white images from black and white pdf files.)

> This bug has been reported in various other tickets submitted before. I am attempting to conclusively prove that this is an issue, and it needs to be attended to since all past tickets regarding this bug have been marked invalid.
> I have attached a video showing very basic code that will reproduce the issue. I have also attached the code that causes the issue, as well as a PDF file that works (a color one), and a black and white PDF file that doesn't.
> The main issue is that when reading a black and white PDF file (see attached black and white pdf file), the following message is displayed, and the contents of the output image is completely white.

> WARNING: getRGBImage returned NULL
> We use PDFBox in our program for reading PDF files, and at least 50 percent of our customer's PDF files (from different scanners) will not read because of this issue. This is a complete show stopper, and I'd be more than happy to help in any way I could to resolve it.
