how to read contents of a PDF files

[Neza Guillaine <gn...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
My name is Jael Neza,
I would like to develop a small project that will be able to upload PDF
files, read them, parse them in a text and send the texts in the database,
so that It may retrieve those later and display them in a jsp.
I need a help in knowing how to read contents of the PDF file in java using
PDFBox
any help would be highly appreciated

Thanks.

Did you take a look at the example at [2]? This example use the class 
PDFTextStripper.
