Invalid PDF data: missing %PDF header

[LiThaM]

Hi, I change to word to PDF and receive error.

"Invalid PDF data: missing %PDF header."

PDF open normal not a problem, I attach the pdf document

2-Prueba_Word.pdf

Hi @LiThaM, just to make sure I understand. You generate a PDF using MS Word and when opening it with PDFParser you receive the error Invalid PDF data: missing %PDF header.?

[LiThaM]

Yes, correctly. I also think there must be some bug in the phpword, because it totally loses the style.

The PDF you mentioned may be added to our test environment. Is it free of charge and without any obligations?

[LiThaM]

Yes, that is correct. The pdf is a test that I generate to check why this error.

I can't replicate this issue with the pdf you provided. Could you share the code you are using?

[LiThaM]

Friends, thanks for everything, the error was in the PDF converter. Solving that problem, I never jumped again.

Hi Everyone. I'm facing below **"Exception - Invalid PDF data: missing %PDF header.

More information about this error

×Debug info: Error code: generalexceptionmessage ×Stack trace: line 887 of \lib\Pdfparser\vendor\smalot\pdfparser\src\Smalot\PdfParser\RawData\RawDataParser.php: Exception thrown line 102 of \lib\Pdfparser\vendor\smalot\pdfparser\src\Smalot\PdfParser\Parser.php: call to Smalot\PdfParser\RawData\RawDataParser->parseData() line 90 of \lib\Pdfparser\vendor\smalot\pdfparser\src\Smalot\PdfParser\Parser.php: call to Smalot\PdfParser\Parser->parseContent() line 330 of \user\profile\field\file\field.class.php: call to Smalot\PdfParser\Parser->parseFile() line 714 of \user\profile\lib.php: call to profile_field_file->edit_save_data() line 270 of \user\editadvanced.php: call to profile_save_data()"**

can anyone help me to fix this? I've added PdfParser library to moodle, there i'm getting the above mentioned error. Outside the moodle, I'm able to parse the same pdf without any error.

I have this issue, because i use library openoffice for generate to PDF. i change me code and dont have more errores.

I also have this issue with the PDFs I received from the https://ocr.space/ API. I have added a demo pdf. demo.pdf

[svenfulen]

This is an issue with the format of the PDF file, i.e. some of the expected metadata is missing from the PDFs. If your PDF file is corrupted or formatted wrong, sometimes the PDF can be repaired. In my case, the files I was using were corrupted.

I'm not familiar with this code base, does it make sense to change this to where slightly incorrect formatting is not a fatal error?
