Used PDFBox a couple of projects ago. It was great! Very nice API, works like a charm.

I encountered PDFBox for the first time last week and although it looks promising I was discouraged by the lack of documentation. Was there something you found particularly useful, or should I just start browsing the source? Thanks!

Yeah, current docs might not be the best, I think they are still working on it.

API was pretty intuitive, plus some googling and reading stackoverflow. And yes, browsing the source. I don't remember encountering any major problems with it.

how is OpenPDF vs PDFBox ?
