Apache PDFBox wasn't written to run on Android and Android is not Java.
Android doesn't have AWT or Swing so you won't be able to display PDF on
Android out of the box. Maybe you can get PDFBox to work by implementing
a page drawer that uses Android's painting primitives. If the non-visual
part of PDFBox works on Android, that might make a nice addition to
PDFBox.
