jPDFText - Getting Started

The starting point for using jPDFText is the com.qoppa.pdfText.PDFText. This class is used to load a pdf document and extract the text from the document. The class provides three constructors to load PDF files from the file system, a URL or an InputStream. All constructors take an additional parameter, an object that implements IPasswordHandler, that will be queried if the PDF file has requires a password to open. For PDF files that are not encrypted, this second parameter can be null:

jPDFText - Distribution and JAR Files

jPDFText is packaged in a single jar file, jPDFText.jar that gets installed with the evaluation sample. When distributing an application that contains jPDFText, the jPDFText.jar file needs to be distributed along with it and needs to be included in the class path when running the application.
