Source: libpdfbox2-java Version: 2.0.29-1 Severity: normal Hello, It appears that libpdfbox2 has command-line utilities for end users: https://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/commandline.html However this package doesn't install anything in /usr/bin/ where users will like to find them. I don't know anything about Java, so getting this to work has been challenging. Invoking the .jar manually one finds $ java -jar /usr/share/java/pdfbox2-tools.jar no main manifest attribute, in /usr/share/java/pdfbox2-tools.jar
(Note that the upstream documentation I linked to refers to a "pdfbox*-app.jar" which isn't installed anywhere; maybe we just need to build it? After some guessing I found a command-line that works: $ java -cp '/usr/share/java/pdfbox2-tools.jar:/usr/share/java/pdfbox2.jar' org.apache.pdfbox.tools.PDFBox PDFBox version: "2.0.29" Usage: java -jar pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar <command> <args..> Possible commands are: Decrypt Encrypt ExtractText ExtractXMP ExtractImages OverlayPDF PrintPDF PDFMerger PDFReader PDFSplit PDFToImage TextToPDF WriteDecodedDoc (Note that this command-line help also refers to my invocation as "pdfbox-app"; maybe that's supposed to be a wrapper that sets stuff up correctly?) I think some wizardry in the javahelper package exists to set up the right bits. However you should probably see if the upstream build system has a way to set things up. For example, the ImportXFDF command https://sources.debian.org/src/libpdfbox2-java/2.0.29-1/tools/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/tools/ImportXFDF.java isn't recognized, but it can still be used with a tweak: CLASSPATH="/usr/share/java/pdfbox2-tools.jar:/usr/share/java/pdfbox2.jar" java org.apache.pdfbox.tools.ImportXFDF -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.69+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
