Apache PDFBox

What do you like best?

The truth is that it is a very useful tool but it is being named relatively now, it is very useful since it is open source therefore anyone can use it and besides that it allows us to operate with PDF files, that is to say , allows us to create, process, print, divide, combine, extract texts, among many other functions, it is worth mentioning that it is a JAVA library and to be used with this programming language, its integration is super simple and fast in the language.

What do you dislike?

The only negative thing is that it does not have much support or a large community to support it, in addition to technical support is not very good at the time of consulting doubts but outside of that I think a very good option to turn to as a programmer when we want to use functions with PDF.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I recommend it widely and more because it is open source and its use can be by anyone who wants it, besides that it is a library that in my opinion is super complete and that making the call to their respective elements is not complicated. It is much better than other options that I have used and certainly much better than trying to perform the functions from scratch.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The truth is that I have used this library on very specific occasions but I can say that I have not left any complaint, the library is very good and practices for the amount of functions that simplifies you.
