Apache PDFBox cannot find class 'Loader'. Why?

I'm using either pdfbox-app-2.0.18.jar or pdfbox-app-2.0.17.jar.

From the example here, I have this code below :

try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(signedFile);
     PDDocument doc = Loader.loadPDF(inputFile)) {
    
     // code

}

After executing this code, I'm getting this error given below :

org.apache.pdfbox.Loader is not found

How to resolve this issue ?

Solution

  • The Loader class has been added January 25, 2020. SVN log

    It's not part of version 2.0.18, as it is not in this file: pdfbox-2.0.18-src.zip

    So this class is simply too new and that's why you cannot use it!
