Well, got it to compile without all the extra libs - changed the compiler to
"modern" from "jikes".  Lots of errors without the lucene, checkstyle and
junit, but the examples I'm interested in work fine.

Was able to parse a PDF with AcroForm fields, and return the names and
values using  org.pdfbox.examples.fdf.PrintFields

Also interested in org.pdfbox.examples.fdf.ImportFDF, will test after
building an FDF.

This appears to have many of the PDF reading capabilities missing in iText,
appears to be a good complement to iText.

Just ran across another LGPL Java PDF Library: http://www.pdfbox.org

It claims to be able to extract text from, merge and decrypt PDF documents.
Has a utility for merging FDF data into PDF form fields.

Somewhat cryptic documentation, no examples, no compiled version.  Tried to
compile with Ant, but need to download numerous additional libraries (jikes,
lucerne, ...) first.
