Apache PDFBox is an open source pure-Java library that can be used to create, render, print, split, merge, alter, verify and extract text and meta-data of PDF files.
Open Hub reports over 4,000 commits (since the start as an Apache project) by 17 contributors representing more than 120,000 lines of code. PDFBox has a well established, mature codebase maintained by an average size development team with stable Y-O-Y commits. Using the COCOMO model, it took an estimated 34 person-years of effort. [1]
Structure
Apache PDFBox has these components:
- PDFBox: the main part
- FontBox: handles font information
- XmpBox: handles XMP metadata
- Preflight (optional): checks PDF files for PDF/A-1b conformity.
History
PDFBox was started in 2002 in SourceForge by Ben Litchfield who wanted to be able to extract text of PDF files for Lucene.[2] It became an Apache Incubator project in 2008, and an Apache top level project in 2009. [3]
Preflight was originally named PaDaF and developed by Atos worldline, and donated to the project in 2011.[4]
In February 2015, Apache PDFBox was named an Open Source Partner Organization of the PDF Association. [5]
