Hi,
This is somewhat confusing. The "it works" message is from the Apache
webserver. Not apache pdfbox.
You don't have to "compile" pdfbox, you can use the jars.
You have to compile your own code, unless you are using the command line
application.
for example, enter this in a dos box:
java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.7.jar PDFReader blah.pdf
and it will display the pdf. Or enter
java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.7.jar PDFToImage -resolution 300
-imageType png blah.pdf
and it will convert your image to png.
Or enter
java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.7.jar
and it will show what commands are available
No, there is no "fee based PDFBox Helpline" anywhere on planet earth.
Although many questions are answered here for free. Maybe explain what
you want to do.

I am having great difficulty installing PDFBox.1.8.7.
I have installed Apache (on a Windows 7 machine).
From my browswer address bar, "http:\\localhost\" responds:
"It Works!", indicating that Apache is truly running.
I have installed the following Java JDK:
jdk-7u71-windows-i586.exe
I have installed Maven.
From the cmd line, "mvn --version" responds:
Apache Maven 3.2.3
Maven home: C:\Apache\apache-maven-3.2.3
Java version: 1.8.0_25. vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "Windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "dos"
Maven appears to be installed, as well as Java.
I have downloaded and extracted the following:
pdfbox-1.8.7-scr
I have downloaded the following:
commons-logging-1.2.jar
jempbox-1.8.7.jar
fontbox-1.8.7.jar
pdfbox-1.8.7.jar
pdfbox-app-1.8.7.jar
and I have updated the CLASSPATH to include the System Variable PATH for
each of above.
This is where things fall apart.
It is not clear how to complile PDFBox.
Do you use a 'jar' command?
Can someone please point me to the documentation to compile PDFBox?
Is there a fee based PDFBox Helpline anywhere on planet earth?
Thanks,
