PDFBox

PDFBox is a useful library that makes it possible for you to efficiently manage PDF documents using Command Prompt and only your keyboard.

Assuming Java is already installed on your computer, you need to launch Command Prompt and type 'java -jar” command followed by the library's path.

The most important thing you need to know about PDFBox is the fact that it comes with a surprising number of features for PDF management. To stop beating around the bush, the library makes it possible for you to create new PDF files and read already existing ones. You can also convert your PDFs to colorspace, convert text files to PDFs and, just as easily, print them.

This simple library also makes it possible for you to encrypt and decrypt PDFs. You can extract content like texts and images from your PDF files with the help of PDFBox. In contrast, the library also enables you to convert typical text files to PDFs.

The library also packs a debugger and features that enable you to overlay the contents of your PDFs. What is more, this little library can also help you convert PDFs to more lightweight and accessible image formats.

Last but not least, PDFBox makes it as straightforward as possible for you to merge multiple PDF files. Conversely, it can also help you split them.

Taking all of the above into careful consideration, it is safe to say that PDFBox is a useful and feature-rich software solution for manipulating PDFs found on your computer's hard disk.

The library can be easily used as a back-bone for any PDF application, as you only need to built an interface around it and use the right commands and events to take advantage of its features.

The application offers you a straightforward way to read, print, merge, split, convert, encrypt and decrypt PDFs.
