<p>Building PDFBox from source is only necessary if you're wanting to contribute code to the PDFBox project. Most users should use the <a href="http://pdfbox.apache.org/download.cgi">binary releases</a> instead.</p>
<h2 id="obtaining-the-source" tabindex="-1">Obtaining the Source</h2>
<p>You can obtain the latest source of PDFBox from our <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/">SVN repo</a>. The current trunk is 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT. There is a separate branch for the 3.0.x and the 2.0.x series. You can fetch the latest trunk version using Subversion:</p>
<p>svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/trunk/
cd trunk</p>
<p>You can also browse the Subversion repository using <a href="https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/">ViewVC</a>.</p>
<p>We also have a read-only <a href="https://git.apache.org/">Git mirror</a> which is further mirrored to GitHub as <a href="https://github.com/apache/pdfbox">apache/pdfbox</a>.</p>
<p>The sources for the <strong>Java ImageIO plugin for the JBIG2 image format</strong> are available in the <a href="https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox-jbig2.git">Apache Git Repository</a> or can be loaded from <a href="https://github.com/apache/pdfbox-jbig2">GitHub</a>:</p>
<p>git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox-jbig2.git
cd pdfbox-jbig2</p>

<p>Building PDFBox 2.0 requires a JDK with &quot;unlimited strength&quot; cryptography, which requires extra files to be installed. For JDK 7, see <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-7-download-432124.html">Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)</a>. If these files are not installed, building PDFBox will fail the following test:</p>
<p>TestPublicKeyEncryption.setUp:70 JCE unlimited strength jurisdiction policy files are not installed</p>
