How do i read/parse pdf files using Apache Camel. Any specific example or code snippets to parse the file ??
appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
You could use the Apache Tika project to extract data from you PDF files. It is a generic tool to extract data from various types of documents. It uses PDFBox under the hood for PDF.
Camel is not about parsing any files at all. You may want to take a look at Apache PDFBox
There is a camel-fop component: http://camel.apache.org/fop but its only for rendering pdf files. There is no support for parsing a pdf file.
actually with the component pdf of camel you can actually also extract text, you can see an example of how to do that here: https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/components/camel-pdf/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/pdf/PdfTextExtractionTest.java
the component is based on Apache PDFBox:

I'm working to convert the content of an excel (.xlsx) file to html, to the best extent possible...
I tried both Apache Tika and directly Apache POI, but I haven't been able to extract charts or images included in an excel file. I also looked in the XSSFExcelExtractorDecorator class from the Apache Tika sources, but I don't understand how I should use that Decorator class, and I can't find an end-to-end example about this.
Can anybody provide a working example, or a hint for the starting point ?
Thank you.
Everyone, I have some 10 pdf file (No Tables in this files) and i need to convert to Excel.
Is there a way to convert to Excel?
By Googling, Using Apache Poi/aspose we can achieve this. but I am not getting proper way(Code link) for this.
How can I do this using Apache POI/aspose. Any help, suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks
It seems that the only possible way to do this is using Aspose. Thought we can read the PDF using PDFBox kind of library and write to the excel using apache POI or etc will break the formatting. If we want to convert PDF to Excel with the formatting we need to use aspose.

This is a commercial product but you can use the trial version to test your requirement.

I don't have much knowledge regarding PCL6 file format. I wanted to know if there is any way to extract text out of PCL6 file using Java.
Thanks,

Convert the file to PDF (see Ghostscript/GhostPDL) and then use Apache Tika.
The first step will require to use some Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...)
Actually I am attempting to extract the data from a PDF file but I didn't find any example in the internet and I am asking if there is any possibility that I can use the JPedal library to open to read the data from a PDF file.
You can use PDFBox from Apache.
I am not familiar with JPedal, but I write lots of code that generates and processes pdf files. I use IText and highly recommend it. If you have a specific question on how to process a pdf file, let me know.
I want some API's and some Document So that i can convert any file into PDF..
The file may be Doc , exl, ppt ..etc .
My requirement is, i have a file EX:- Doc file and i just wants to convert it into PDF.. using java .
Any suggestion will be helpful...
I would recommend you taking a look at Flying Saucer (former xhtmlrenderer) which makes creating PDF files extremely easy from XML and HTML files (internally it uses iText).
HTML/XML can be used as a intermediate format making this a quite flexible solution.
Use
http://pdfbox.apache.org/
and
http://poi.apache.org/
If you want to generate a PDF from an XML document, you can try Apache FOP, which follows the XSL-FO standard.
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
So a smart process could be: extract data from your various document formats using POI, odftoolkit (for OenDocument) or other tools, inject them into an XML container, and then translate them into PDF using FOP.
Apache's poi API is best for convert any file to pdf
You can use Itext . It is well documented and comes with ton of examples.
