Java로 PDF에서 데이터를 추출하는 방법

This tutorial will show you how to use IronPDF for Java to extract data from a PDF file. Setting up the environment, importing the library, reading the input file, and extracting the needed data are all explained with code samples.

2. IronPDF Java PDF Library

IronPDF is a software library that provides developers with the ability to generate, edit, and extract data from PDF files using IronPDF for Java within their Java applications. It allows you to create PDFs from HTML documents, images, and more, as well as merge multiple PDFs, split PDF files, and manipulate existing PDFs. IronPDF also provides the ability to secure PDFs with password protection features and add digital signatures to PDFs, among other features.

IronPDF for Java is developed and maintained by Iron Software. One of its top-rated features is to extract text and data from PDF files as well as from HTML and URLs.

3. Prerequisites

To use IronPDF to extract data from PDF files, you must meet the following prerequisites:

  1. Java installation: Make sure Java is installed on your system and its path is set in the environment variables. If you haven't installed Java yet, refer to this download page on the Java website for instructions.
  2. Java IDE: Have a Java IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ installed. You can download Eclipse from this Eclipse download page and IntelliJ from this IntelliJ download page.
  3. IronPDF library: Download and add the IronPDF library as a dependency in your project. Visit the IronPDF setup instructions page for setup instructions.
  4. Maven installation: Maven should be installed and integrated with your IDE before starting the PDF conversion process. Refer to this Maven installation tutorial on JetBrains on installing and integrating Maven.

4. IronPDF for Java Installation

Installing IronPDF for Java is easy and uncomplicated, provided all the requirements are met. This guide will use JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA to demonstrate the installation and run sample code.

Here's what to do:

  • Open IntelliJ IDEA: Launch JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA on your system.

5.1. Extract Data from PDF documents

Using IronPDF for Java, you can easily extract text data from PDF documents. Below is the example code for extracting data from a PDF file.

How to Extract Data From PDF in Java, Figure 5: PDF Input PDF Input

// Import the necessary IronPDF package for working with PDF documents
import com.ironsoftware.ironpdf.PdfDocument;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        // Load the PDF document from the specified file
        PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.fromFile(Paths.get("business plan.pdf"));

        // Extract all text from the PDF document
        String text = pdf.extractAllText();

        // Print the extracted text to the console
        System.out.println("Text extracted from the PDF: " + text);
    }
}
// Import the necessary IronPDF package for working with PDF documents

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        // Load the PDF document from the specified file
        PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.fromFile(Paths.get("business plan.pdf"));

        // Extract all text from the PDF document
        String text = pdf.extractAllText();

        // Print the extracted text to the console
        System.out.println("Text extracted from the PDF: " + text);
    }
}
JAVA

The source code produces the output given below:

> Text extracted from the PDF:

import java.io.IOException;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        // Convert a URL to a PDF and load it into a PdfDocument
        PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.renderUrlAsPdf("https://ironpdf.com/java/");

        // Extract all text from the PDF document
        String text = pdf.extractAllText();

        // Print the extracted text to the console
        System.out.println("Text extracted from the URLs: " + text);
    }
}
// Import the necessary IronPDF package for working with PDF documents
import com.ironsoftware.ironpdf.PdfDocument;

import java.io.IOException;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        // Convert a URL to a PDF and load it into a PdfDocument
        PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.renderUrlAsPdf("https://ironpdf.com/java/");

        // Extract all text from the PDF document
        String text = pdf.extractAllText();

        // Print the extracted text to the console
