[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-4049) IllegalArgumentException: root
cannot be null
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4049?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16313466#comment-16313466 ]
Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4049:
-----------------------------------------
Your PDF starts with
{code}
----------------------------766440766244535832321017
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fileData"; filename="514bf860-d583-494c-bb0b-68e8167bba53.pdf"
Content-Type: application/pdf
{code}
and ends with

which indicates a bad MIME extracting tool. Did you receive this file from a client or did you extract it yourself? A coworker (great guy) wrote such a tool in perl and cursed a lot. Years later (he had quit) I rewrote such a tool myself in java with additional features and I quickly understood his pain.
I'm asking because if you wrote that tool yourself, or if you have influence on whoever wrote it, the whole problem would be moot.
