You can try apache pdfbox
But there could have some issue if you want to edit the file


SCJP 5.0, SCWCD 5.0, SCBCD 5.0, SCDJWS 5.0

I don't think there's a Java library that provides access to layout and styling information of a PDF file. The best that can be done is to extract the text; both JPedal and PDFBox can do that.
