PDFBox Parsing problem - EOF

[Miran Damjanovic <MI...@statoil.com>]

Hello,

I have been using PDFBox to get text from PDF's and validate some of it. Recently I have had
Problems parsing the PDF's, more precisely I get an java.io.ioexception. I use the following code
To get the text from PDF:
public String getTextFromPDF(URL url, int  readTimeout, int connectTimeout) throws IOException {
            try {
                  //open connection
                  HttpURLConnection conn =  (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

                  //set caching to false
                  conn.setUseCaches( false );

                  //set read timeout
                  conn.setReadTimeout( readTimeout );

                  //set connect timeout
                  conn.setConnectTimeout( connectTimeout );

                  //get input stream from connection
                  InputStream fileToParse = conn.getInputStream();

                  System.out.println( fileToParse.toString());

                  //parser object
                  PDFParser parser = new PDFParser(fileToParse, null, true);

                  parser.parse();
                  //do parse
                  //parser.parse();

                  //get document
                  PDDocument pdoc = parser.getPDDocument();

                  //get stripper object
                  PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();

                  //get text
                  String text = stripper.getText( pdoc );

                  //close doc
                  pdoc.close();

                  //disconnect
                  conn.disconnect();

                  //reset connection (set to nothing)
                  conn = null;

                  //reset file
                  fileToParse = null;

                  //reset parser
                  parser = null;

                  //return content
                  return text;

            }
The error message I get is this (line 51 is where I call parser.parse() above):

I appreciate any tips and help you can provide, in advance many thank you

Hi,

unfortunately the error message don't make it through. Could you write it down and resend?

You can also simplify some of your code by using the .load or .loadNonSeq method of PDDocument
