ArgumentOutOfRangeException in TextFragmentAbsorber

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello, I am using the latest version of Aspose.PDF (19.4) but this issue has persisted since v16.11. For some reason certain PDF pages cause us to get this unhandled exception when calling either textFragmentAbsorber.Visit(page) or page.Accept(textFragmentAbsorber):

Index and length must refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: length

This exception is thrown by System.String.Substring–here is the full stack trace from textFragmentAbsorber:

I would be happy to share an example PDF that has this issue but it is confidential so I don’t want to share it publicly on the forum.

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response. I have attached a sample PDF that causes us problems. In order to replicate the exception, this is all you should have to do:

using Aspose.Pdf;
using Aspose.Pdf.Text;
using System;

namespace AsposeException
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // set license
            License license = new License();
            license.SetLicense("Aspose.pdf.lic");
            license.Embedded = true;

            // open document
            using (Document doc = new Document("sample.pdf"))
            {
                try
                {
                    TextFragmentAbsorber tfa = new TextFragmentAbsorber();
                    tfa.Visit(doc.Pages[1]);
                    //doc.Pages[1].Accept(tfa);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
