    Windows probably blocks the PDFBox DLLs because they were downloaded from the Internet. Unblock the ZIP file (PDFBox.NET-1.8.9.zip) in the file propertites, then unzip it replacing your existing DLLs.

there is no problem here.

the issue must be in the selected path for the dll

the place the dlls are must be shared by the place TestComplete is.

 

Try to put the pdfbox dll folder in the desktop of the machine where TestComplete is installed.

just do it kick and dirty : no need to remove the 37 olds paths...

    Hi Helen,

     

    I am facing the same issue when trying to use the function "function findText(docObj, string)". It gives the error "'JavaClasses.org_apache_pdfbox_util.PDFTextStripper' is null or not an object 16:41:21 Normal ". I followed the steps from here:

    https://support.smartbear.com/articles/testcomplete/testing-pdf-files-with-testcomplete/

     

    Which DLL did you mean which should be unblocked? I just have a .jar file pdfbox-2.0.8 and have added the required Java classes under Java bridge in TestComplete. Please advise. Thank you.
