[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1606) NonSequentialPDFParser produces garbage text in document info

["Sebastian Nagel (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1606?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13665023#comment-13665023 ] 

Sebastian Nagel commented on PDFBOX-1606:
-----------------------------------------

Metadata extraction also produces garbage for test_1e6a2e_001_test.pdf from PDFBOX-1554 which can be parsed only by NonSequentialPDFParser (PDFParser fails).

Is there a reason why NonSequentialPDFParser decrypts the document already in the constructor (via initialParse())? This constrains a decryption handling different from PDFParser where the PDDocument can be decrypted later via decrypt() or openProtection().

> For some documents, NonSequentialPDFParser produces PDDocumentInformation with binary garbage in its fields (title/author/producer/etc). Invocation of PDDocumentInformation.getXXXDate() methods fails with "IOException:Error converting date" for those documents.
> Classic PDFParser does not have problems with the same documents.
