B4J Question Read a text in file PDF

[Giacomo]

Hello to all
Some time ago I made ( With Visual Basic 2010 Express ) a small software to read the contents of PDF files , I do not need to see it , so there are 100 viewer, I need to extract some text strings have been processed
To do this I used a library downloaded here http://pdfbox.apache.org/index.html
Today I need to do the same thing with B4J , but given my limited capacity are not able to figure out if you can have this library here .

You are able to help me ?

Thank you !!
Sorry for my english ( I Love Google translate )

Hi Giacomo.

I have now created a very basic wrapper for PDFBox that allows you to extract the text from a PDF.

If the above suggestion from Erel does not work out, let me know and I will post it here for you.

Fantastic
in truth I have not tested the solution Erel ...
I really liked the solution PDFBox and in Visual Basic 2010 worked very well.
They also do not know anything wrapper, you can help me (step by step) maybe with some small example?
I would be very gratefu

Hi Giacomo.

You will need to download the PDFBox 1.8.10 jar from here and place in your additional libraries folder.

Download jPDFBox.zip and extract to your additional libraries folder.

Attached is a very simple Sample Application for you to try.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Edit (Erel): using with standalone package https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4jpackager-11-and-pdfbox.131165/#post-826162
