Hello,

I'm currently test driving the pdf kit for my company and I've noticed some problematic behaviour, as suggested in the Subject of this post.

For example:

Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(@"blabla.pdf");

Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextOptions.TextExtractionOptions options = new Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextOptions.TextExtractionOptions(Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextOptions.TextExtractionOptions.TextFormattingMode.Pure);

Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextAbsorber absorber = new Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextAbsorber(options);

Aspose.Pdf.DocumentInfo info = doc.Info; // works

string version = doc.Version; // works

doc.Pages.Accept(absorber); // hangs

Sample files attached. They all seem to have the same thing in common, namely they are version1.2 pdfs.

I should add that Acrobat 9 Pro can extract the text from some of them but it fails for others.

Hi. Unfortunately I must reopen this issue, simply because I'm encountering it again. I was using an anterior version of the Pdf Kit, part of the Aspose.Total package, but upon downloading the latest Aspose.Total release (the one from 12th of March, including Aspose.Pdf for .NET 6.8.0) I'm able to reproduce it against it as well.

Immagine this code:

               TextAbsorber tA = null;

                Document doc = null;

                 try
                    {

                        tA = new TextAbsorber(o); // extraction options set to PURE
                        doc = new Document(fPath); // hangs here
                        doc.Pages.Accept(tA); // I never get here
                    }
                    catch { }
                    finally
                    {
                        if (!(doc == null)) doc.Dispose();
                        if (!(tA == null)) tA = null;
                    }

The archive contains the problematic files. All of them are PDF version 1.3 , as in the previous case.
