HI Gilad and others
Sorry I am pretty new to java. I cant even get this line to run:
PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new
File("C:\\Users\\Al\\Desktop\\test.pdf"));
I get a Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable
source code - unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or
declared to be thrown
at pdftest2.Pdftest2.main(Pdftest2.java:28)
Error.
Can you please help?
Thanks
-Al
