Next: Have a look at all the available tasks.

Getting started with Sejda SDK

Sejda SDK PRO

Add the Sejda SDK PRO dependency to your Maven project:

<properties>
	<sejda.version>4.0.0</sejda.version>
</properties>

<repositories>
       <!-- sejda PRO -->
       <!-- Add credentials to your ~/.m2/settings.xml -->
       <!--

	<server>
		<id>mvn.sejda.com</id>
		<username>your-sejda-pro-username</username>
		<password>your-sejda-pro-password</password>
	</server>
        -->

	<repository>
		<id>mvn.sejda.com</id>
		<url>http://mvn.sejda.com/artifactory/libs-release</url>
	</repository>
        <repository>
                <id>sejda OSS</id>
		<url>http://dl.bintray.com/sejdapdf/maven</url>
	</repository>
</repositories>

<!-- sejda PRO -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.sejda</groupId>
  <artifactId>sejda-core-pro</artifactId>
  <version>${sejda.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.sejda</groupId>
  <artifactId>sejda-sambox-pro</artifactId>
  <version>${sejda.version}</version>
</dependency>

Sejda SDK OSS

Add the Sejda SDK OSS dependency to your Maven project:

<properties>
	<sejda.version>3.2.85</sejda.version>
</properties>

<repositories>
        <!-- sejda OSS -->
	<repository>
		<id>sejda OSS</id>
		<url>http://dl.bintray.com/sejdapdf/maven</url>
	</repository>
</repositories>

<!-- sejda OSS -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.sejda</groupId>
  <artifactId>sejda-core</artifactId>
  <version>${sejda.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.sejda</groupId>
  <artifactId>sejda-sambox</artifactId>
  <version>${sejda.version}</version>
</dependency>

We'll next write a simple class that splits a PDF document by text.

public final class SampleCode {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
   // configure the split by text task
   // text area boundaries
   TopLeftRectangularBox textArea = new TopLeftRectangularBox(10, 20, 100, 200);
   SplitByTextContentParameters taskParameters = new SplitByTextContentParameters(textArea);

   // inputs
   taskParameters.addSource(PdfFileSource.newInstanceNoPassword(new File("/Users/edi/Desktop/test.pdf")));

   // where to output PDF document results
   taskParameters.setExistingOutputPolicy(ExistingOutputPolicy.OVERWRITE);
   taskParameters.setOutput(new FileOrDirectoryTaskOutput(new File("/tmp/output2")));

    TaskExecutionService executionService = new DefaultTaskExecutionService();
    executionService.execute(params);
  }
}
