    Description

      When getting images from a PDF document using PDXObjectImage (code fragment below), it returns an image with invalid characteristics. The PDXObjectImage is not null, but attributes like .getColorSpace() return null. The image has a height and width, but the getRGBImage() method returns null.

      This happens on EVERY image of the attached file. Code fragment and output is shown below.

      If I use the write2file() method of PDXObjectImage to write out the image to a fil, then I get a valid image. (At least, it displays fine.)

      Code Fragment:

      // Get a list of pages from the input PDF document
      List pages = InputDoc.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
      // Process each page
      int i = 0;
      for (Object obj : pages)
      {
      String Barcode = null;
      i++;
      PDPage page = (PDPage)obj;
      // Get the image on the page and process it
      PDResources resources = page.getResources();
      Map images = resources.getImages();
      System.out.println("Found " + images.size() + " images on Page " + i);
      if( images != null )
      {
      Iterator imageIter = images.keySet().iterator();
      while ( imageIter.hasNext() )
      {
      String key = (String)imageIter.next();
      System.out.println("key = " + key);
      PDXObjectImage image = (PDXObjectImage)images.get( key );
      if (image != null)

      { System.out.println("Image subtype = " + image.SUB_TYPE.toString()); System.out.println("Image suffix = " + image.getSuffix()); System.out.println("PDX image has height = " + image.getHeight() + " and width " + image.getWidth()); // Convert image to a Buffered Image, so we can // look for a barcode and decode it BufferedImage RGBimage = image.getRGBImage(); if (RGBimage == null) System.out.println("RGBimage is null"); }

      }
      }

      Output:
