Hi,
I want to extract Sinhala (local language) from a pdf file. I am not
familiar with pdfbox. I would like to know whether is this possible and how
can I do it using pdfbox

Thank you.

I depends on the pdfs and the used kind of fonts. I suggest to give it a try.
There are some easy to use command line tools such as ExtractText, see [1]
for further details.
