You can use org.apache.pdfbox apidocs. The PDF tools plugin uses this PDFBox library only.&lt;br /&gt;2) If it does not return, you will have to create your own custom function to support this feature. The above mentioned library contains many useful methods for that, simply research online.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
