Hi tsan123,

 

try using double backslashes like this

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

instead single ones

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

    tsan123 uses VBScript, so this suggestion does not apply.
