JSON Output Captured

Verification

PASS Criteria

  • pdftract extract command ran without errors
  • JSON output was produced and captured
  • Exit code was 0

Output Analysis

The JSON output shows:

  • 0 pages (empty PDF)
  • 0 spans, 0 blocks
  • No attachments, form fields, links, signatures, or threads
  • Valid schema_version (1.0)
  • Fingerprint: pdftract-v1:ab24a95f44ceca5d2aed4b6d056adddd8539f44c6cd6ca506534e830c82ea8a8

This is expected behavior for a PDF with no extractable content (the no-mapping.pdf fixture was designed to test encoding handling, not content extraction).
