'Premature end of file' error when indexing

[energylibrarian]

Hi,

I'm currently implementing XTF, and when I try to add new PDFs, I get
an error statement:

XML Parser Exception: class net.sf.saxon.trans.dynamicError
With message: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file.

I am following the tutorial exactly. Does anyone have any idea how to
fix this?

Thanks!

I am guessing that your pdfs are not created to standards. Is there any way you can recompile one with another program to verify?

I think there may be a missing XML end-tag in one of your stylesheets or other XML documents. Is there a more detailed call stack in the Tomcat log? That would help narrow it down.

I had a similar problem while using Adobe Acrobat version 9. I had to go into Document and then Examine document. The left hand pane would show any metadata that had automatically been attached. Once I deleted those the file would work in XTF. I have not tried anything with version 10 but they have changed the menu items.

It says:

Indexing new/updated documents:

***PDFtoXML.convert<>Exception: class java.lang.NullPointerException

***XML parser exception: class net.sf.saxon.trans.DynamicError

It repeats this for every PDF I add. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

To follow up: the problem turned out to be that our PDFs were optimized for web viewing by Adobe Acrobat. After turning off the web optimization feature, opening, and resaving, the problem was fixed.
