Method Detail

newPdfParser

PDFParser newPdfParser(InputStream pdfStream)
                       throws ModelParsingException,
                              EncryptedPdfException

Method that returns a PDFParser instance, parsing the passed pdfStream parameter. The parser or parser provider will detect the flavour of the PDF document stream and provide an appropriate parser.

Parameters:

pdfStream - InputStream for the PDF document to be parsed.

Returns:

a PDFParser instance created from the supplied InputStream.

Throws:

ModelParsingException - when there's a problem parsing the PDF file

EncryptedPdfException - if the PDF to be parsed is encrypted

newPdfParser

PDFParser newPdfParser(InputStream pdfStream,
                     PDFAFlavour flavour)
                       throws ModelParsingException,
                              EncryptedPdfException

Method that returns a PDFParser instance, parsing the passed pdfStream parameter. The caller must explicitly state the flavour of the PDF document stream.

Parameters:

pdfStream - InputStream for the PDF document to be parsed.

flavour - a PDFAFlavour instance indicating parser configuration (PDF/A part and conformance level) to be assumed when parsing the document.

Returns:

a PDFParser instance created from the supplied InputStream.

Throws:

ModelParsingException - when there's a problem parsing the PDF file

EncryptedPdfException - if the PDF to be parsed is encrypted

newMetadataFixer
