Let me give you an overview of my project first. I have a pdf which I need to convert into images(One image for one page) using PDFBox API and write all those images onto a new pdf using PDFBox API itself. Basically, converting a pdf into a pdf, which we refer to as PDF Transcoding.
For certain pdfs, which contain JBIG2 images, PDFbox implementation of convertToImage() method is failing silently without any exceptions or errors and finally, producing a PDF, but this time, just with blank content(white). The message I am getting on the console is:
Dec 06, 2013 5:15:42 PM org.apache.pdfbox.filter.JBIG2Filter decode
SEVERE: Can't find an ImageIO plugin to decode the JBIG2 encoded datastream.
Dec 06, 2013 5:15:42 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.graphics.xobject.PDPixelMap getRGBImage
SEVERE: Something went wrong ... the pixelmap doesn't contain any data.
Dec 06, 2013 5:15:42 PM org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.pagedrawer.Invoke process
WARNING: getRGBImage returned NULL
I need to know how to resolve this issue? We have something like:
import org.apache.pdfbox.filter.JBIG2Filter;
which I don't know how to implement.
I am searching on that, but to no avail. Could anyone please suggest?
