Migration to PDFBox 2.0.0

["Romina O. Leon" <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi! Great library! Thank you so much :)

I'm migrating my application from PDFBox 1.8.10 to 2.0.0, and I'm trying to
get the text (String) of a page, in your website you quote:

Parsing the Page Content

Getting the content for a page has been simplified.

Prior to PDFBox 2.0 parsing the page content was done using

PDStream contents = page.getContents();PDFStreamParser parser = new
PDFStreamParser(contents.getStream());parser.parse();List<Object>
tokens = parser.getTokens();

But, the method getContents() from the PDPage Class returns an InputStream,
which it can't be cast to a PDStream.

And with the example below:

With PDFBox 2.0 the code is reduced to

PDFStreamParser parser = new
PDFStreamParser(page);parser.parse();List<Object> tokens =
parser.getTokens();

I still can't get the page content!

I will apreciate your help!
Thanks!

What do you mean, getting the page contents? You mention getContents(), 
this returns an inputStream that you can read. Getting the tokens is 
shown in the example you quote. Why do you insist on a PDStream?
