Just tried this and got: % java -cp /usr/share/java/* org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractText some_file.pdf Error: Could not find or load main class .usr.share.java.commons-logging-adapters-1.1.3.jar Also removed commons-logging-1.1.3 from my system, installed an older libcommons-logging-java_1.1.1-9_all.deb , changed CLASSPATH accordingly, but still get: Error: Could not find or load main class .usr.share.java.commons-logging-adapters-1.1.1.jar even added commons-logging-adapters-1.1.1.jar to the CLASSPATH (would that ever be necessary?): %echo $CLASSPATH /usr/share/java/pdfbox-1.8.6.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:/usr/share/java/fontbox-1.8.6.jar:/usr/share/java/jempbox-1.8.6.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-logging-adapters-1.1.1.jar still the same error...
