Getting Started

Getting Started with the APDFL Java Interface

Installing

Find the Maven artifact

Go to Datalogics Adobe PDF Library on Maven Central and copy the dependency snippet.

Add to your project

Paste the snippet into the dependencies section of your pom.xml file.

Starting with v21.1.0, APDFL Java packages are no longer published to Maven Central and are now available through the Datalogics Maven repository. See the Maven Configuration Guide below for setup instructions.
Having firewall issues during installation? We have a fix!
