Description

this is with svn revision 773978

I get this error with several pdf files,

Caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:687)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parseHeader(PDFParser.java:281)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.PDFParser.parse(PDFParser.java:156)
... 3 more

I can't give you the pdf file, but changing PDFParser line 281 to,

if (header.length() > 0 && Character.isDigit (header.charAt(0)))

fixes it.
