Adobe PDF Library for Java
PDF Processing on Maven
Add Adobe's own PDF engine to your Java application through a standard Maven dependency. Full sample code included for Java and Kotlin.
PDF Processing with Maven
Adobe PDF Library is available as a Maven dependency for JVM applications, giving Java and Kotlin developers direct access to Adobe's PDF engine — the same one behind Acrobat — without a third-party reimplementation of the spec. Add the dependency, sync your project, and start creating, converting, and securing PDFs with working sample code as your starting point.
- Standard dependency declaration meaning no manual JAR management
- Works with Java and Kotlin on Windows, Linux, and macOS
- Integrates cleanly with IntelliJ and other JVM-based IDEs
- Sample projects on GitHub for both languages
