I was able to read the text of PDFs using the Apache library pdfbox, pdfbox-app-2.0.25.jar

I used the tLibraryLoad component to load the jar.

Then used a tJava component to read the file

tJava Code:

File file = new File("/opt/sample.pdf");

PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(file);

PDFTextStripper pdfStripper = new PDFTextStripper();

String text = pdfStripper.getText(document);

System.out.println("Text:" + text);

document.close();

PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File("/opt/pdf.pdf"));

if (!document.isEncrypted()) {

PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();

String text = stripper.getText(document);

System.out.println("Text:" + text);

}

document.close();

tJava Advanced Settings:

import java.io.File;

import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;

import org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper;

import org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripperByArea;
