topic Issue with pdfbox-1.8.10 dependency while building custom actions in Alfresco Forum https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/issue-with-pdfbox-1-8-10-dependency-while-building-custom/m-p/67718#M22560 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello,&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>I am following the alfresco developer series&nbsp;by jeff potts and building custom actions. My requirement is to create custom actions such that they trigger when I upload a pdf and scan the document to perform actions like water marking, OCR, classification, content extraction etc.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>I see there is a plugin which does some of the things that I need called pdf-toolkit but it seems to be not working as expected with the latest version of alfresco. Hence I've started creating the custom actions on my own.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>I am using pdfbox 2.0.8 to work with pdf's and was able to successfully convert searchable/non searchable pdfs to text using it directly in java. I have added this version of pdfbox as the dependency to my alfresco project.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>Issue: Since alfresco automatically pulls in pdfbox 1.8.10, my version of pdfbox was not used and hence I am coming across the following issue.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.getPage(I)Lorg/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/PDPage;&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>What options do I have ? What do you suggest ?&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Jul 2018 05:26:32 GMT hari 2018-07-17T05:26:32Z Issue with pdfbox-1.8.10 dependency while building custom actions https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/issue-with-pdfbox-1-8-10-dependency-while-building-custom/m-p/67718#M22560 Hello,&nbsp;I am following the alfresco developer series&nbsp;by jeff potts and building custom actions.

The load order (which version "wins") is somewhat non-deterministic as it depends on both the JVM, application server classloader and the operating / file system.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Jul 2018 16:20:32 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/issue-with-pdfbox-1-8-10-dependency-while-building-custom/m-p/67719#M22561 afaust 2018-07-17T16:20:32Z
