Looks like my original thread has expanded a bit.
I use VBScript and the code does apply but it looks like the "set" statement has been omitted

set docObj = JavaClasses.org_apache_pdfbox_pdmodel.PDDocument.load_3("C:\\Users\\Downloads\\Test.pdf")

  You're getting a different error than the one this was originally posted under. It seems like you haven't actually included the pdfbox jar in your java bridge. Could you post a screenshot of Tools -> Current Project Properties -> Java Bridge?
  
  Also, a post of the code you're using would be helpful as well.
