Description

I have a pdf ( 397 MB) and I am trying to count the pages.
I am able to open the PDF with AdobeReader 9, but no with FoxitReader.
Code:
PDDocument doc = null;
File temp = null;
RandomAccessFile rand = null;
int nr = 0;
try

{ //create a temporary file needed by the PDFBox when dealing with PDFs really really large temp = new File("e:/temp.tmp"); //using random access file needed for PDF really large rand = new RandomAccessFile(temp,"rw"); doc = PDDocument.load(file,rand); nr = doc.getNumberOfPages(); }

catch(Exception e)

{ e.printStackTrace(); }

Got following exception:
