Description

I use the following code to parse a PDF:

PDFParser pdfparser = new PDFParser();
        pdfparser.parse(Test.class.getResourceAsStream("/testdoc.pdf"), handler, metadata, pcontext);

This results in the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.tika.exception.TikaException: Unable to extract PDF content
