Hello everyone,

I'm trying to load an existing PDF into my application with PDFBox 2.0.9 but I do encounter some problems.

Here is the code I'm trying to execute:

File pdf = new File("/Users/chris/Downloads/RechnungTemplate.pdf");
PDDocument template = PDDocument.load(pdf);
System.out.println("Number of pages: " + template.getNumberOfPages());


At line 2 the application freezes and nothing happens. Even Debugging stopped at line 2.

I tried my code within a standalone program (without RAP) and it worked fine, so there is something wrong in combination with RAP.

I already tried executing the code in a Thread other than the UI-Thread but this didn't change anything.

Someone got this library working with RAP and knows how to fix the problem?

EDIT: After deploying the war it's working fine, but when trying with eclipse it's somehow not working.


Thanks,
Chris

Just touched the same problem.

PDFBox internally uses AWT, und it freezes if the library cannot be loaded. Although not in a RAP setting I faced the behaviour as I did not have "Run in UI thread" selected on executing my test.
