[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1233) PDFBox can throw
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException on some dates
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1233?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13897354#comment-13897354 ]
Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1233:
-----------------------------------
Added extra catch blocks for now. r1566910. Once PDFBOX-1803 is applied, we should be able to get rid of all catch blocks and use isBad() (if that proposed modification is accepted).

> PDFBOX's date parser can throw a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if a date string for parsing is empty or contains only spaces. A few of my test pdfs have this "feature."
> Until PDFBOX-1803 is resolved, we can add an extra catch to prevent this from causing problems in TIKA
