> When parsing a pdf document the handler creates a structure (and fires appropriate SAX exents) that each page is wrapped into two <div> elements. The outer one of these has no parent element, so when the subsequent endElement method is called for "html", a NPE occurs when currentElement.parent is referenced:
> {code:java}
> java class ToXMLContentHandler:
> public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
>     if (this.inStartElement) {
>         this.write(" />");
>         this.inStartElement = false;
>     } else {
>         this.write("</");
>         this.write(qName);
>         this.write('>');
>     }
>     this.namespaces.clear();
>     this.currentElement = this.currentElement.parent;
> }
> {code}
