Hello,
Thank you for reporting this bug. I fixed it in the next version that I am going to release soon.
Meanwhile you can pull the code of the dev branch here: https://github.com/JonathanLink/PDFLayoutTextStripper/tree/dev

Hello Jonathan,

I tested with the dev branch and the exception is not thrown anymore, but the output only shows from page 20~25+

Hi Jonathan,

Did you end up resolving the issue and releasing an updated version? I am facing this issue with all the PDFs I am trying to parse (they are all generated by the same vendor for different users).
