Openpdf: Error while retrieving text from pdf with an empty page

[erikliberal]

While reading text per page of a Pdf had had some issues when it had a blank page. Any other contents were loaded just fine

java.lang.NullPointerException at com.lowagie.text.pdf.parser.PdfTextExtractor.getContentBytesFromContentObject(PdfTextExtractor.java:157)

Thanks for reporting this.
Perhaps you can submit a pull-request to fix this?

Which version of OpenPDF are you using?

[ghost]

This is the relevant code:

[erikliberal]

Yeah, after I'm done with some tasks I'm currently working on that's what I'll do

I'm using version 1.0.1

This appears to be fixed in newer versions and can likely be closed. Unable to reproduce in local test environment.

@erikliberal Should work with 1.0.3+. Can you check that?

This problem was fixed in 1.0.3 by
https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/commit/6dd8db39c021ec25ce4c60c729b77aad1f43632d
However I can't close this, I think.

I'm closing this now. If the issue isn't fixed someone will open it again.
