Created attachment 25525 [details] PPTX showing NPE When Tika tried to read metadata from a PPTX that has a null creation date, an NPE occurs in PackagePropertiesPart.getDateValue. private String getDateValue(Nullable<Date> d) { if (d == null) { return ""; } SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"); return df.format(d.getValue()); } Although the code checks whether d is null, it appears that d.getValue() returns null, and an NPE is thrown in SimpleDateFormat.format: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Calendar.setTime(Calendar.java:1075) at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.format(SimpleDateFormat.java:876) at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.format(SimpleDateFormat.java:869) at java.text.DateFormat.format(DateFormat.java:316) at org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.internal.PackagePropertiesPart.getDateValue(PackagePropertiesPart.java:587)
