title: PDF Parser PHP Library Not Working
body: <p>I'm using the <a href="http://www.pdfparser.org/" rel="nofollow">PDF Parser</a> PHP library to parse the text from several PDFs. It works perfectly for a majority of these, but seems to just timeout and stop working for certain PDFs.</p>
  
  <p>This is the code I'm using (straight from their demo page):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  include 'vendor/autoload.php';
  
  $parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
  $pdf    = $parser-&gt;parseFile('document.php');
  
  $text = $pdf-&gt;getText();
  echo $text;
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I replace 'document.pdf' with the URL to <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52819455/working.pdf" rel="nofollow">this file</a>, it works perfectly as expected.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I replace 'document.pdf' with the URL to <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52819455/not-working.pdf" rel="nofollow">this file</a>, it just times out with a blank page.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas why it would work for one file and not the other?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any advice!</p>
