A port of Apache PDFBox to Android, enabling PDF creation, manipulation, and rendering in Android apps. It is distributed via Maven Central as a Gradle dependency and requires a one-line resource loader initialization.
Use cases
- read and parse pdf files on android
- render pdf pages to images in an android app
- create pdf documents programmatically on android
- extract text from pdfs in a mobile app
- manipulate existing pdf documents on android
- handle jpx images inside pdfs on android
When to choose
- you need full PDFBox-like PDF functionality on Android
- you want a maintained, Maven Central library with a sample app
- your app targets API 19+ and needs PDF creation or text extraction
When to avoid
- you need PDFBox 3.x features (this is based on 2.0.27)
- you need JPX image support without adding an extra JCenter-only dependency
- you are building for desktop or server JVM environments (use original Apache PDFBox)
