> We are trying to extract text and images form PDF's. I have 2 PDF's which cause PDFBox to crash.  I get  null pointer exception.  The first PDF is a scanned document. The second PDF is a document that is surrounded by a table and contains images as well. These two documnets are causing PDF to get an exception.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

> Hi, my name is Deepika and trying to resolve exceptions related to image extractions. It would be great if you could upload the files that caused PDFBox to break.

>         at org.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageNode.getKids(PDPageNode.java:171)
> A quick peek in the source code shows me that the PDPageNode is created with 
> PDDocumentCatalog.java, line 208:
> public PDPageNode getPages()
> {
>   return new PDPageNode((COSDictionary)root.getDictionaryObject(COSName.PAGES));
> }
> But my root node dictionary only seems to contain the "Type" key, so the above source code probably leads to a PDPageNode with a null dictionary.

> I have found the same problem. The released version of the code gets a class cast exception. This appears to be fixed in the latest development build, but now it gets a NULL pointer exception.
