Description

The Apache PDFBox® library serves as a versatile open-source tool in Java for managing PDF documents. This project facilitates the creation of new PDFs, as well as the modification of existing ones and the extraction of content from those documents. Additionally, Apache PDFBox features a variety of command-line utilities that enhance its functionality. Released under the Apache License v2.0, this library allows users to extract Unicode text from PDFs, split a single PDF into multiple files, or combine several PDFs into one. It also enables the extraction of data from forms or the filling of PDF forms, along with validating PDF files according to the PDF/A-1b standard. Users can print PDFs via the standard Java printing API, create new PDFs from scratch that include embedded fonts and images, and save PDFs as image files like PNG or JPEG. Furthermore, the library offers the capability to digitally sign PDF documents, enhancing their authenticity and security. It's important to note that users should review the export control information concerning the encryption features provided by Apache PDFBox for compliance with regulations.
