APACHE PDFBOX
Java PDF library for text extraction and document processing
Apache-2.0
ABOUT
PDF documents are notoriously difficult to parse programmatically — layouts vary widely, text may be stored as rendering instructions rather than content streams, and many tools produce garbled output from complex multi-column or scanned PDFs. Apache PDFBox solves this with a robust Java library that extracts text and metadata with high fidelity across diverse PDF formats, handles encrypted and digitally signed PDFs, and provides full programmatic creation and manipulation of PDF documents — making it the standard for PDF processing in enterprise data extraction and document intelligence pipelines.
