Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to apply the solution proposed in this answer
http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/48118/82119 but on following the first
step, the pdfannotextractor.pl dies with:

$ /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/pax/pdfannotextractor.pl capturing-ddl.pdf

I have no idea how to fix this problem.  Maybe I need to specify a
classpath or something?  I looked at the .pl file itself and there's a
--install option, but on running it, it says the PDFBox "is already
found":

$ /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/pax/pdfannotextractor.pl
--install

* Nothing to do, because PDFBox is already found:
  /usr/share/java/pdfbox.jar

Not quite sure what to do next.  Maybe it's just missing a dependency?

Control: reassign -1 texlive-latex-extra

Some observations:

* /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/pax/pdfannotextractor.pl would
  download PDFBox-0.7.3.zip from Sourceforge. That's a quite old
  version (in Debian in oldoldstable).
* Looking at
  pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/cos/ICOSVisitor.java (in the
  PDFBox source), I guess that this class is called
  org.apache.pdfbox.cos (and not org.pdfbox.cos) by now.
  A diff in the git repo (upstream tags) shows the same. Pseudo-diff:

diff --git a/current/src/org/pdfbox/cos/ICOSVisitor.java b/current/src/org/pdfbox/cos/ICOSVisitor.java
deleted file mode 100644
index 04b7542..0000000

Hi all,

Can this please reported to upupstream Heiko Oberdiek - otherwise
there will be no fix.

Thanks

Norbert

Hi,

This should have been solved years ago, we just forgot to close it sorry!
