Bugreport: Reading a special DOC file triggers a NullPointerException

Hello,

 

I think I've found a bug in the lastest PIO word file reader. 

 

I try to read a Word document:

- Title "Überblick über Open Source und DMS"

- Author: "Heßler"

- Num pages: 10

- Contains some tables and some graphics

- DOT is "Studie.dot"

- Filesize 116 kb

 

The stacktrace I receive: 

java.lang.NullPointerException

I would love to upload the file somewhere, so you can verify the bug. Unfortunately I'm not sure if the document may be distributed - I'll check this out.

 

Is the information I provided helpful to fix/resolve this issue? I'd be glad to be of further assistance.

Bye,

Johannes

Try using hwpf rather than hdf to read your word files - you might well 
have more luck with it
