[opencms-dev] Adobe 9 and pdfBox

[Tony Thul]

I replaced the pdfbox jar 0.7.2 with 1.5.0 and added fontbox-1.5.0.jar. It would not work unless I changed the import statements in CmsExtractorPdf.java from
 
org.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser;
 
to
 
org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser
 
and rebuilt OpenCMS from source. This seems to work, the content was indexed.
 
Are there any plans to upgrade to a newer version of pdfbox in the future?
 
Thanks!
Tony

Hi,

It appears this is a known issue that appeared in PDFBOX before version 0.8 (OpenCms uses 0.7.2):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-361 

You could try and download the latest version of PDFBOX (1.5.0) from here:
http://pdfbox.apache.org/download.html 

However I am not sure how much the PDFBOX API has changed so it may be that this version is not supported by OpenCms 7.
