Cannot init PDFTextStripper, code cannot find "glyphlist" file. There is no "Resources" folder in com/tom_roush/pdfbox/

[olamao]

Describe the bug I was trying to create first instance of PDFTextStripper and it crashed. I am trying to extract text from pdf. The log says that it is looking for file "glyphlist" in "com/tom_roush/pdfbox/resources" but I couldn't find that folder in the "External libraries" of android studio (Android Studio Koala | 2024.1.1 Patch 1). I am using a MAC OS ventura 13.6.9. .

To reproduce Code snippet to reproduce the behavior:

URI uri = new URI(inputString); Path uriPath = null; boolean exists = false; if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE) { uriPath = Path.of(uri); if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { exists = Files.exists(uriPath); } }

        System.out.println("exist? cannot believe it " + exists);
        System.out.println("path" + uriPath);
        File pdfFile = new File(String.valueOf(uriPath));
        PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(pdfFile);
        PDFTextStripper myStripper = new PDFTextStripper();
        String myResult = myStripper.getText(document);

System.out.println("Hello world");

PDF example Link or attach a PDF demonstrating the issue text.pdf

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

I am trying to extract text from a pdf file. I created a new PDFTextStripper. So I expect to be able to create a string with the text.

Actual behavior A clear and concise description of what happened instead.

The app crashed.

Environment details:

• PdfBox-Android version: [e.g. 2.0.27.0], that is the version I implemented.
• Android API version: [e.g. API 33], I am using the following:

compileSdk = 34

defaultConfig {
    applicationId = "com.example.app"
    minSdk = 24
    targetSdk = 34

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here. The log is clear, it could not find the file glyphlist, in the "resources" folder.

Thanks very much.

Solved, by adding PDFBoxResourceLoader.init(getApplicationContext()) at create main activity. I found solution in a previous issue answer. Thanks
