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 11,000 commits (since the start as an Apache project) by 18 contributors representing more than 140,000 lines of code. PDFBox has a well established, mature codebase maintained by an average size development team with increasing year-over-year commits. Using the COCOMO model, it took an estimated 46 person-years of effort. [2]
Apache PDFBox has these components:
PDFBox was started in 2002 in SourceForge by Ben Litchfield who wanted to be able to extract text of PDF files for Lucene. [3] It became an Apache Incubator project in 2008, and an Apache top level project in 2009. [4]
Preflight was originally named PaDaF and developed by Atos worldline, and donated to the project in 2011. [5]
In February 2015, Apache PDFBox was named an Open Source Partner Organization of the PDF Association. [6]
