Get Started with the Apryse Server SDK Java PDF Library Integration

Before you start:

• Install Visual Studio Code (or your preferred application) to write, edit, and debug source code.
• If you’re using VS Code, install the “Extension Pack for Java” and the “vscode-pdf” extensions that are available in the “Extensions: Marketplace” tab within VS Code. This will provide you with a full-featured Java development environment by bundling the essential tools.
• Install the latest Java Development Kit (JDK) v25 (LTS) for your platform/processor.

• Get your Apryse trial key.

This section provides steps to create a simple Java project.

1. Download the Apryse Java PDF library for Linux PDFNetJava.zip file.
2. Extract the PDFNetJava.zip file to the following location: /Home/YourName/PDFNetJava/Samples/
   Replace YourName with your user name.
3. In Visual Studio Code, from the Explorer pane, click on the Samples section, select the New Folder icon and enter myApp.
4. Right-click on the myApp folder, select New File and name it JAVA.

1. From the myApp folder, in the new file you just created, copy the following code and paste it into the myApp.java file to create a blank PDF page:

1import java.io.File;
2import java.io.IOException;
3import com.pdftron.common.PDFNetException;
4import com.pdftron.pdf.*;
5import com.pdftron.sdf.SDFDoc;
6import com.pdftron.sdf.ObjSet;
7import com.pdftron.sdf.Obj;
8public class myApp
9{
10    public static void main(String[] args)
11    {
12        PDFNet.initialize("YOUR_APRYSE_LICENSE_KEY");  // PDFNet must be initialized before accessing any Apryse API
13        try
14        {
15            PDFDoc doc = new PDFDoc();
16            Page page = doc.pageCreate();  // Start a new page
17            doc.pagePushBack(page);  // Add the page to the document
18            doc.save("output.pdf", SDFDoc.SaveMode.LINEARIZED, null);  // Save the document as a linearized PDF
19        }
20        catch(PDFNetException e)
21        {
22            e.printStackTrace();
23            System.out.println(e);
24        }
25        System.out.println("Hello World!");
26    }
27}

2. Scroll down to the line containing PDFNet.initialize(“YOUR_PDFTRON_LICENSE_KEY”); and replace the words in quotes with the copy of your trial license key. Save your changes.

1. Right-click on the myApp.java file and select Open in Integrated Terminal.
2. In the terminal, enter the following and press Enter to compile your application using the PDFNet library:

1javac -cp .:../../../Lib/PDFNet.jar myApp.java

Then enter the following and press Enter to run the project:

1java -Djava.library.path=../../../Lib -classpath .:../../../Lib/PDFNet.jar myApp

Keep in mind the following about the code above:

• The system logs a startup message.
• The program imports the Java SDK.
• The script defines an async main function that builds the PDF.
• The PDFNet engine runs with cleanup and license initialization.
• The program logs any errors.
• The script releases PDFNet resources and shuts down the engine.

3. In the terminal, type exit and press Enter.

4. In your Samples > myApp folder, you will see the output.pdf file you created by integrating the Apryse Server SDK!

5. You have successfully added the Apryse Server SDK to your Java project.
