Description

We're using pdfbox-1.8.1.jar to convert PDF to JPGs.
Below is part of a stacktrace we see when converting a PDF of size 500Kb

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (4032) and height (-2880) cannot be <= 0
at java.awt.image.DirectColorModel.createCompatibleWritableRaster(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.image.BufferedImage.<init>(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage.convertToImage(PDPage.java:752)
at org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFImageWriter.writeImage(PDFImageWriter.java:115)

We use PDDocument.load(File). As suggested, we tried with loadNonSeq and also the non sequential form of load as below. Also tried it with a FileInputStream and File. All these forms of load gave us the same error.
—
raf = new RandomAccessFile(new File("/tmp/nonSeqPdfFile"), "rw");
document = PDDocument.load(new FileInputStream(inputFile), raf);
PDFImageWriter imageWriter = new PDFImageWriter();
success = imageWriter.writeImage(document, imageFormat, password, startPage, endPage, pdfWorkFilePrefix, imageType, resolution);
