java AFMParser,如何使用Apache PDFBox从PDF文件中提取文本

I would like to extract text from a given PDF file with Apache PDFBox.

I wrote this code:

PDFTextStripper pdfStripper = null;

PDDocument pdDoc = null;

COSDocument cosDoc = null;

File file = new File(filepath);

PDFParser parser = new PDFParser(new FileInputStream(file));

parser.parse();

cosDoc = parser.getDocument();

pdfStripper = new PDFTextStripper();

pdDoc = new PDDocument(cosDoc);

pdfStripper.setStartPage(1);

pdfStripper.setEndPage(5);

String parsedText = pdfStripper.getText(pdDoc);

System.out.println(parsedText);

However, I got the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.apache.fontbox.afm.AFMParser.main(AFMParser.java:304)

I added pdfbox-1.8.5.jar and fontbox-1.8.5.jar to the class path.

Edit

I added System.out.println("program starts"); to the beginning of the program.

I ran it, then I got the same error as mentioned above and program starts did not appear in the console.

Thus, I think I have a problem with the class path or something.

Thank you.

I executed your code and it worked properly. Maybe your problem is related to FilePath that you have given to file. I put my pdf in C drive and hard coded the file path.here is my code:

// PDFBox 2.0.8 require org.apache.pdfbox.io.RandomAccessRead

// import org.apache.pdfbox.io.RandomAccessFile;

public class PDFReader{

public static void main(String args[]) {

PDFTextStripper pdfStripper = null;

PDDocument pdDoc = null;

COSDocument cosDoc = null;

File file = new File("C:/my.pdf");

try {

// PDFBox 2.0.8 require org.apache.pdfbox.io.RandomAccessRead

// RandomAccessFile randomAccessFile = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");

// PDFParser parser = new PDFParser(randomAccessFile);

PDFParser parser = new PDFParser(new FileInputStream(file));

parser.parse();

cosDoc = parser.getDocument();

pdfStripper = new PDFTextStripper();

pdDoc = new PDDocument(cosDoc);

pdfStripper.setStartPage(1);

pdfStripper.setEndPage(5);

String parsedText = pdfStripper.getText(pdDoc);

System.out.println(parsedText);

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}
