Well, that does work, although it appears to be a different method than wha=
t the Apache PDFBox documentation specifies. Thank you! JL

What seems to work, again, is to supply the full path of
pdfbox-app-1.8.10.jar:
>=20
> jonathan$ java -jar
/usr/local/bin/pdfbox-app-1.8.10.jar \

cat aFile.txt

>=20

pdfbox-app-1.8.10.jar's permissions. Any further suggestions?


what you can
do is put the .jar in either /Library/Java/Extensions or
~/Library/Java/Extensions

the you can run the pdfbox app like this

java
org.apache.pdfbox.PDFBox <command> <args>
