Description

Given the following code

val catalog: PDDocumentCatalog = pdf.getDocumentCatalog
catalog.getPageLayout

 

For a specific document, catalog.getPageLayout throws an IllegalArgumentException with the following trace

 

 

Error Detail:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: PDLayoutDontCare
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PageLayout.fromString(PageLayout.java:54)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocumentCatalog.getPageLayout(PDDocumentCatalog.java:479)

 

Looking at the source code for PageLayout we have the following values

SINGLE_PAGE("SinglePage"),

/**  Display the pages in one column. */
ONE_COLUMN("OneColumn"),

/** Display the pages in two columns), with odd numbered pages on the left. */
TWO_COLUMN_LEFT("TwoColumnLeft"),

/** Display the pages in two columns), with odd numbered pages on the right.  */
TWO_COLUMN_RIGHT("TwoColumnRight"),

/** Display the pages two at a time), with odd-numbered pages on the left. */
TWO_PAGE_LEFT("TwoPageLeft"),

/** Display the pages two at a time), with odd-numbered pages on the right. */
TWO_PAGE_RIGHT("TwoPageRight");

The PDLayoutDontCare option is not present. However according to the pdf spec it is a valid value
