Title: PDF file is not opened
Post by: tilutza on February 14, 2020, 05:39:16 AM

Hello! I am evaluating Ivy and it seems to work pretty well. However, I have a strange PDF which in Adobe Reader works. If I open in Ivy it gets' the error that "UglyToad.PdfPig.Core.PdfDocumentFormatException: 'Could not read the first token in the document at position 0.'".

Do you guys know why?
The code that reads PDF is the simplest one:


            PdfParser p = new PdfParser(IvyDocumentReader.ReadPdf(pdfFileName));
            var text = p.ExtractText();

            return p.Text;

The problematic PDF is at: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1malOKp5-M3ZKAXxdQ8mNal4mLpX24_iE

Hello Tilutza,

Sorry to hear about your problem. Could you let me know what version of IvyPdf you are using?
I just tried opening it with 1.61.4 and it seems working fine. There were a few issue fixed recently, so I'm hoping this one has been fixed already. Could you please try it and confirm?

I’ve been checking out information on MBBS course fees through Education Vibes (https://educationvibes.in/blogs/details/mbbs-course-fees), and it’s really helpful for comparing costs across different countries and universities. The fees seem to vary a lot depending on location and whether it’s a government or private medical college. Has anyone here used Education Vibes to plan their MBBS abroad? Would love to hear your experience with their guidance and cost estimates.
