<title>Introduction</title>
<p>
Apache PDFBox is an open source Java PDF library for working with PDF documents.
This project allows creation of new PDF documents, manipulation of existing documents
and the ability to extract content from documents. Apache PDFBox also includes several
command line utilities. Apache PDFBox is published under the
<a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">Apache License v2.0</a>.
</p>
<note label="Disclaimer">
Apache PDFBox is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF),
sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted
projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and
decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness
or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully
endorsed by the ASF.

<p>
