com.aspose.pdf.Document pdfDoc = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(new FileInputStream(file));

PageCollection pdfPages = pdfDoc.getPages();

for (int i = 1 ; i <= pdfPages.size(); i ++){

try{

Page pdfPage = pdfPages.get_Item(i);

com.aspose.pdf.Paragraphs parags = pdfPage.getParagraphs();

int len = parags.getCount();

for (int j = 0; j < len; j++){

//do something on paragraph

}

}catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace();}

}

This line pdfPage.getParagraphs(); is throwing an error and exit directly my function without passing by the catch.

Is there something missing in my code?


Thank you

Hi Karine,


Thanks for your inquiry. I’m afraid currently Aspose.Pdf Document class does not support accessing a particular paragraph and count is returning zero so your code is not entering in inner for loop and exits. We have logged a ticket as PDFNEWJAVA-34114 in our issue tracking system to access paragraph in a PDF document. You will be notified via this forum thread as soon as it is resolved.


We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.


Best Regards,

Hi,


How do you get to the Ticket to see the status? Is this close to being resolved or is there a planned date? This is really kind of a deal breaker if it doesn’t work.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,


As we recently have been able to notice this
issue, so development team requires little time to investigate and figure out
the reasons of this problem. As requested earlier, please be patient and spare us little time.

Furthermore, please
note that you have reported issue under
normal/free support forum and as a normal rule of practice, issues are
resolved in first come and first serve basis; but the problems logged/reported
under Enterprise or Priority support model, have high precedence in terms of
resolution, as compare to issues under normal/free support model.<o:p></o:p>

Thanks I appreciate your quick responses. I realize this stuff takes time and just wanted to know where this falls in the triage process.


You are correct re: free v. enterprise - I have a client that is evaluating Aspose.PDF and may purchase a site license. However, if a core piece of the product isn’t functional, it could impact their decision and is why I am in a hurry to understand status your timeline.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,


Thanks for your patience. Our product team has investigated the issue and found it is not a bug. The method getParagraphs() returns only objects created for generator. In the customers code snippet we just open the document and does not generating anything.

For example, the following code returns one paragraph on the first page:


com.aspose.pdf.Document pdfDoc = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(new FileInputStream(myDir + “Document _with_some_pages.pdf”));

PageCollection pdfPages = pdfDoc.getPages();


//create simple paragraph

TextFragment tf = new TextFragment(“hello”);

pdfPages.get_Item(1).getParagraphs().add(tf);


for (int i = 1 ; i <= pdfPages.size(); i ++){

try{

Page pdfPage = pdfPages.get_Item(i);

com.aspose.pdf.Paragraphs parags = pdfPage.getParagraphs();

int len = parags.getCount();

System.out.println("Page number: "+i+"Paragraph count: "+len);

// for (int j = 0; j <= len; j++){

// System.out.println("Page number: "+i+"Paragraph number: "+j);

// //do something on paragraph

// }

}

catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace();}

}
