The easiest way to get started is to grab the pdfbox-app-1.2.1.jar
from the download page [1] and run it like this:
$ java --jar pdfbox-app-1.2.1.jar ExtractText document.pdf
This command will write a "document.txt" file that contains the
extracted text from the given "document.pdf" document. See [2] for
more details about the ExtractText operation.
See [3] for instructions on how to use the same functionality from a
Java application instead of from the command line.
