    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3331?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15261568#comment-15261568 ] 

Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3331:
-----------------------------------------

Current version is 1.8.12 and 2.0. Please test with these. Your version is from 2012.

Some windows process (w3wp.exe = IIS worker process) is trying to open a file for reading that doesn't exist. Do you get any error in an application?

> For some reason pdfbox is trying to access C:\windows\sytem32\inetsrv   folder. 
> We are usinf pdfbox to parse pdf files in our sitecore based CMS website. 
> This folder is locked in production servers, giving access is a security hole.
