Dear colleagues, I'm a complete newcomer to java programming. I've = developed quite a bit of facility in programming in R, some familiarity = with basic unix commands (sed, grep and awk) and I'm very interested in = being able to use pdfBox to extract text from .pdf files. =20 I'm working on Mac Os 10.6.6; I downloaded the pre-built .jar file in my = home directory and I'm trying this command java -jar pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractText = geography.pdf geography.txt
But I get the following error usage: java pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar <command> <args..> Can anyone point me in the right direction? Yours, Simon Kiss ********************************* Simon J.
