Library

Basic Usage

Pdf2Dom may be used as a DOM interface to the Apache PDFBox™ library. The following example shows how to obtain a DOM model from a PDF file:
// load the PDF file using PDFBox
PDDocument pdf = PDDocument.load(new java.io.File("file.pdf"));
// create the DOM parser
PDFDomTree parser = new PDFDomTree();
// parse the file and get the DOM Document
Document dom = parser.createDOM(pdf);

Config Options

PDFDomTreeConfig config = PDFDomTreeConfig.createDefaultConfig();
config.setFontExtractDirectory(fontDir);
config.setFontMode(SAVE_TO_DIR);

PDFDomTree parser = new PDFDomTree(config);
