Description

I just upgraded my pdfbox dependency to 2.0.32 and any Tika#parseToString of a pdf file seems to produce the following warning:

WARN  o.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper - Parameter must be 1-based, but is -1

The behavior is the same as with 2.0.31, it's just that pdfbox is apparently not too happy anymore with the way it's used by Tika.

This new warning was apparently introduced by PDFBOX-5822.

Just in case it's not actually any file, here is one with which I reproduce: pdf.pdf
